Nationally agreed changes to NHS Terms and Conditions of Service were agreed by the NHS Staff Council in February 2018 clarifying new arrangements for colleagues progressing through pay bands (pay progression). Due to the pandemic the implementation was paused, however, as of 1 April 2022 this applies to all colleagues employed under Agenda for Change NHS terms and conditions of service.
There is a new policy available on the intranet (HR43) for all colleagues to access which identifies the requirements of pay progression. However to support line managers with meeting the requirements of pay progression and undertaking pay step meetings, a short elearning package has been developed that must be completed.
The elearning ‘350 Pay progression guidance 2022’ is accessed through ESR, and completion will be recorded on ESR to support compliance reporting – it is envisaged the training will take approx. 15 minutes.
We ask for this elearning to be completed as soon as possible to allow for pay step meetings to be undertaken as required.
