Royal College of Nursing members will be balloted over strike action after rejecting a 6% offer.
Nurses on the Isle of Man cannot be offered an improved pay deal because of "financial constraints", the island's healthcare provider has said.
An RCN ballot over the deal, which included the 6% rise for 2022-23 year along with a £300 consolidated lump sum, saw 85% of members who took part reject the offer.The health care provider said a separate 6% offer with a £1,000 lump sum had been made in April, but the union said it had not had a formal proposal they could put to members.The dispute over pay has continued for almost two years, with nurses originally seeking a 15% pay rise for the 2021-22 and 2022-2023 years.
That increase was applied "in light of the current economic climate and cost of living pressures on staff", a Manx Care spokeswoman said.
