Civil service back pay

I left the civil service in early November, before my organisation paid the 4.5% payrise which is to be back paid from April. Does anyone know if I would be entitled to the back pay from April to the date I left the organisation? I've already received my final payslip.  Thank you!

    Normally although the rise is back dated, you needed to be still employed as civil servant on a different date to get the rise (and not subject to poor performance measures). Often it's 1 August, but the date can vary depending on Department / year.
  • If it is of help - I recently left the civil service and I was paid the 4.5% - my old CS Dept’s pay date was 1st August, I left the CS on 11th August and received an additional pay slip to my home address a couple of weeks ago.
