Almost a million UK public sector workers will receive a pay rise.
The government announced the news on Monday and say it will benefit thousands with doctors, teachers and soldiers amongst the professions.
The boost in pay will see individuals receive up to an average increase if they're £1,000 for classroom teachers, £1,500 for hospital doctors and £978 for police constables.
It will build on what has already been described as the largest pay rise in nearly a decade for over a million public sector workers last year.
It is also the last act from Theresa May as she steps down as Prime Minister.
May said: "Whether it's keeping us safe, saving lives or educating the next generation, our public sector workers deserve this pay rise in recognition of the brilliant job they do on a daily basis.
"In 2017 we ended the public sector pay cap and I'm pleased that we can build on this today by giving almost a million of our dedicated public servants an above inflation salary increase."
The pay rises will be higher than the current 2% rate of inflation and also be backdated to the start of each workforce's financial year.
Philip Hammond, Chancellor of the Exchequer, also said: "Public sector workers deliver Britain's world-class public services and should be properly rewarded which is why I’m confirming a second year of above inflation pay rises today.
"This is in recognition of the hard work of millions of people, including soldiers, teachers and doctors, and will help us recruit and retain the best staff.
"We are able to afford these pay rises because our balanced approach means we have reduced our debt while investing in public services, including pay."
In 2018/19, the Government spent £190.95bn on pay, up from £171.59bn in 2015/16.
