North Yorkshire Council staff are set to receive a pay increase after the council and the unions reached a local agreement on pay.
Executive Member for Finance and Resources Councillor Gareth Dadd says that people can't wait forever for the pay increase.
The deal, on average, equates to a 6.35% rise for council staff, with roles ranging from town planners and refuse collectors to social workers and engineers.
The deal means those on the lowest wages will receive a 9.42% pay increase and a 5.5% rise for the highest paid.
Councillor Gareth Dadd says that a positive relationship with the trade unions will lead to a happy workforce.
The deal comes just months after the unitary council announced it was facing a £30m deficit in it's first year, due to a £18m-worth of deficits inherited from the eight predecessor councils and a projected £12m shortfall due to inflationary pressures such as rising wages.
