Following on from feedback regarding the pay progression process and the impact delayed forms has had on colleagues across the Trust, it has been agreed to review the process.

The change in process will revert back to colleagues automatically receiving their increments and pay steps (increments that are pay affecting) unless there is a valid reason for this to be deferred.

Deferral should only occur on discussion with a colleague, with a valid reason being agreed that may include:

  • not meeting agreed objectives
  • not compliant with mandatory training (need to be 100% compliant) or if there is live warning on file. 

If deferral is agreed a deferral form would need to be completed and submitted through SharePoint.

The Pay Progression policy (HR43) is currently being revised to reflect these changes and will be uploaded on to the intranet shortly.
