Back pay due but working notice

In October 22, my employer and union settled on an agreed pay increase to be effective from 1/11/22, and for all workers  to receive back pay from April 22 I am due the new salary and my back pay on my salary date on 30/11/22.  however, I have found another job and the start date is 5/12/22. 

If I put my notice in on the 18/11/22 with a required leaving date of 2/12/22, will my employer withdraw my back pay and or new pay increase?

    They could do, it will depend on when the payroll cut off date is and whether it is the sort of thing they would do
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    Check with your union to see if you have to still be in employment and not working notice in order to qualify.  This is something they should be able to clear up quite easily.

    You say a 'required' leaving date - are you giving the required period of notice? If not, then you might run the risk of having a squabble over back pay/the pay increase, but otherwise it will be governed by whatever your contract says/your union agreed.

    I suspect you work in local government given that's a recent union-agreed deal, in which case all should definitely be well (former employees are entitled to back pay even if they've already left their employment by the time the deal was agreed - important not just for salary but possibly also for pension purposes).
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
