ESR committed to supporting Pay Progression
The new pay progression system will come into effect on 1 April 2019 for new starters or those promoted to a new role on or after 1 April 2019.
We are working closely on the detailed policy requirements with our colleagues at NHS Employers so that ESR can be updated to support the delivery of the new pay progression framework and appraisal system.
In order to support organisations to implement the new system we are committed to providing a solution that:
- Updates our Manager and Self Service offering to ensure that:
- meetings to discuss pay progression can be recorded as a new ‘review’ type;
- Improved workflow notification for managers and employees in years when the Pay Step update will lead to an increase in pay;
- Ability to record any reasons for non-progression – as a national set of values to facilitate national and local reporting;
- Changes to the ESR increment process for new starters, or existing employees with a grade change, from 1st April 2019;
- Functionality to enable non-Self Service HR organisations to manage this process in the transitional period (April 2019 - April 2020).
Guidance on the progress with work towards the implementation of the new pay progression system can be found on the NHS Employers website.
