A new pay offer from the Welsh government is being voted on by nurses in Wales.
Eight health unions have been offered an additional 3% on top of the £1,400 that has already been promised by Minister of Health Eluned Morgan.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) postponed walkouts that were scheduled for this week while they thought about the package.
With voting ending on Monday, February 27, the Union is not recommending that members accept or reject the offer.
The Welsh government has proposed a new agreement with an additional 3 percent to be applied retroactively to April 2022, of which 1 point 5 percent is consolidated.
This indicates that they will receive a 3 percent raise this year but only an additional 1 1/2 percent in pay each succeeding year.
Nurses may resume industrial action if the offer is rejected, RCN Wales Director Helen Whyley previously cautioned.
The Welsh government's additional offer "demonstrates the true strength of the nursing voice and the results of the tireless resolve shown on those picket lines," she continued.
After the results are verified, "The RCN will take the necessary follow-up actions and carry them out to put our members' decision into effect.
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, the GMB union ambulance staff, and the Royal College of Midwives have all suspended their strikes while they evaluate the new offer.
Though talks of a deal were deemed "wholly premature," Unite ambulance staff struck on Monday and Tuesday.
With additional strikes scheduled for February 20, 21, and 22, the Welsh government announced that it would continue talks with Unite.
