NHS pay scale 2011/2012?

DizzleUK

Does anyone know the final word on what is happening this year? The last I heard (a few months ago) was those earning less than £21k, i.e. those on AfC spine points 1-15, would see an increase of £250 this year, starting next month (less than a week, then).

I've not heard either way. Has anyone else?

AfC spine points 1-15??

Am I the only one that finds public sector jargon (especially in job specs) totally baffling?

OP - sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

Sorry about the jargon. I'll copy and paste a bit below. Each job is assigned a pay band under the Agenda for Change (AfC) pay system, which has a minimum level of pay. Each year, assuming you pass your appraisals or whatever, you move up one level in that band until you reach the maximum for that band.


Band 1

Point 1 13,653
Point 2 14,008
Point 3 14,364

Band 2

Point 1 13,653
Point 2 14,008
Point 3 14,364
Point 4 14,779
Point 5 15,194
Point 6 15,610
Point 7 16,145
Point 8 16,753

Band 3

Point 6 15,610
Point 7 16,145
Point 8 16,753
Point 9 17,118
Point 10 17,604
Point 11 18,152
Point 12 18,577

Band 4

Point 11 18,152
Point 12 18,577
Point 13 19,250
Point 14 19,933
Point 15 20,554
Point 16 21,176
Point 17 21,798

That's excellent news, thank you. Now, what do I spend my extra 13p/hour on? LMAO

Not quite, you will still get the spine point increase each year

..... till you get to the top of your band Then you either have to change jobs, or live with it.

I left the NHS and the public sector about 4 years ago - I'd probably suggest anyone with more than ten years to retirement should consider doing the same if they can....
