Pay freeze!
OK so this may seem like a daft question - but what actually does this pay freeze mean for people in the NHS? Are we talking inflation, increments, or both?
There is only one thing certain in life, and that's the past; anything else, is yours for the taking.

Well I am hoping (and maybe being naive?) that as increments are already budgeted for in Trusts budget (I think!) then fingers crossed it will be up to the NHS what happens with this? Maybe? Perhaps?

i think it is just the cost of living increase that will be cut. Moving up the pay band is to do with job skill because someone who has worked as an AP for a year will be more skilled than someone who has just started, and so will be paid accordingly.
To put it another way, the government are not stopping promotions i.e. moving from a band 4 to a band 5 which is based on skill. Therefore it is the cost of living increase that will be frozen as I understand it.

I heard that for all Public sector workers earning under 21,000 there would still be an annual pay rise of £250. Did i make this up??Bdawson wrote:The low earnings limit works out at about a £170 benefit for those earning below about 21k from whats been said.
That's about 1/4 of a spine point for me, and I'm only a band 4
