In the meantime, members may find the below information useful.
Government’s revised pay offer for staff on Agenda for Change contracts for 2022/23 and 2023/24
Details of the offer in principle are now available and include the proposed payments per band for the non-consolidated award for 2022/23 and the proposed pay for each pay point with a 5% uplift.
There are a range of non-pay elements to the package, which are in summary form at the moment, with more detail to follow when we open our member-wide consultation. These include:
- Building a workforce for the future, including considering ways to reduce the amount of agency spending and ensuring appropriate staffing levels in nursing, midwifery, allied health professions and ambulance services
- Improving career development and support
- A review of the current pay setting process
- Tackling violence and aggression
- Addressing the challenges around recruitment and retention of nursing staff
- Pension abatement
- Consideration of the current cap on redundancy payments
Further details on these can be found here.
The proposed non-consolidated payment for 2022/23
Please note: the 2022/23 non-consolidated payment outlined below is additional to the already-imposed 2022/23 pay award - which amounted to a minimum uplift of £1,400 for each AfC band.
