NHS no longer offer final salary pension for new starters from 2015.

It's CARE (so, still DB) with a higher accrual rate than the last (2008) final salary version of the scheme, and an above-inflation revaluation rate for active members. Normal pension age is a bit higher, but for someone who spends their career never paying higher rate tax, it's either much of a muchness or not much worse than the 2008 scheme.

Hi
I can’t seem to start a new post.
I’m starting at the bottom of a band 3 next week at around £18,800 but in April this year the bottom of a band 3 will be £19,713. So will I move to that pay in April?

I hope the slip of more THEN instead of more THAN was a predictive text slip.
Sorry to raise this but on a salary of 32 thousand I would expect someone to get this right.

Would expect someone with a 1k post count to realise this is a necro’d thread from 6 months ago as well !!

That's the official position, unofficially these rules are sometimes bent if the successful applicant is the only one regarded as appointable or was streets ahead of everyone else.

I’m my recruiting experience (of which I have a fair bit) a few years ago yes you could negotiate, but not for a few years now. It’s minimum for everyone.

Aside from the pension, you get 35 days AL starting, 6 months full sick pay and guaranteed salary increase.

I’m real terms your current increase isn’t that high; 5k after tax, NI and pension, is £250 a month.

35 days a year? As starting? Is this under agenda for change?

Guaranteed salary increase -What happens once you reach top of your band 5? Yes if u want a salary increase and a salary that doesn't come close to rate on inflatation then yeah sure it's a guaranteed increase.
I've been top of band 6 for 5 years and I've had.....one increase of 3%. That's close to 0.5% a year.

250 a month extra isn't that high :rotfl:

In my organisation it is still doable but not as easy as it used to be. I have got it agreed for somehow I recruited recently but it was quite tortuous.
It now needs senior HR manager sign off whereas previously it was basically up to the line manager and/or budget holder.
