The pay offer consists of a three-part package:
Non-consolidated pay offer for 2022/23 of 2% for all Agenda for Change Staff, plus an NHS Covid Recovery Bonus which equates to an additional 4% of the pay bill. This is in addition to the £1,400, or 4%, already received this pay year.
Consolidated pay offer for 2023/24 of 5% for all Agenda for Change, except the lowest pay bands who will receive 10.4% to lift them above the Real Living Wage.
