Some striking employees have agreed to come into work at the weekend in order to catch up on activity lost during the strike.  Can I just pay basic pay as if they had worked on the day of the strike?

Unfortunately, not. The staff should be paid whatever the going rate is at the time the work is actually done.  Assuming the staff are on AFC, weekend work would result in unsocial hours payments. There would be no entitlement to overtime payments in the week of the strike until the full time hours have been worked (para 3.4 AFC) so staff would have to make up time lost during the strike before receiving overtime payments.
