- Agenda_for_Change abstract "Agenda for Change (AfC) is the current National Health Service (NHS) grading and pay system for all NHS staff, with the exception of doctors, dentists and some senior managers. It covers more than 1 million people and harmonises their pay scales and career progression arrangements across traditionally separate pay groups, in the most radical change since the NHS was founded. It was agreed 1 December 2004, by unions, employers and government, but it is not yet fully implemented nationwide. Although most NHS employees in England and Wales have been transferred to the new system and received their back-pay, Scotland has been slower to implement the system because Scotland has taken a more robust approach to the implementation. All the signatory organisations have agreed to implement it through a partnership approach.AfC assimilates staff to a new salary according to an evaluation of their job weight under an NHS Job Evaluation Scheme. There are nine new numbered pay bands subdivided into points, similar to the old alphabetic Whitley Council 'grades' pay scales. A set of national job profiles has been agreed to assist in the process of matching posts to pay bands. All staff will either be matched to a national job profile, or their job will be evaluated locally. In theory, AfC is designed to evaluate the job rather than the person in it, and to ensure equity between similar posts in different areas. In reality it has been implemented differently in different places, and some posts have been graded very differently to similar jobs elsewhere, despite the supposedly tighter definitions. Around 5% of staff have appealed their gradings, but again the appeals process varies from site to site.[citation needed] Current indications suggest that lower bandings are being used in London and Scotland than elsewhere in the country.[citation needed]Under AfC, all staff will have annual development reviews against the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF). Normal pay progression is one point a year, but pay progression at specified 'gateway' points in each pay band will depend on how the individual matches the KSF outline for their post. Progression onto a different band has become very difficult, as the post would need to have changed substantially in order to be re-graded (even if the person in the post has developed and become more experienced or taken on more responsibilities this would not be seen as a good enough reason to re-band a post).Staff have a contributory pension with tiered employee contribution rates starting at a 5% rate increasing in 7 steps to 13.3% on income above £110,000.".
