Hi all

Now that the pay rise has been agreed everyone will receive the rise in their July pay backdated to April. I assume this means that this financial year I'll be receiving the pay detailed in year 1 (2018/19). However, my increment date is mid-October 2018.

Does anyone know what will happen when I get to my increment date? Anything or nothing? Will my next pay rise be April 2019?
 
That backdated payrise will be perfect for me as I'm going to Germany for a festival the week after we get paid in July :D Just curious how much I will actually get in my payrise..
 
OP is being a rather optimistic OP.

This is the NHS that we are talking about. Under a parliament that is only interested in shareholders, CEOs from the FTSE 100/250 and bankers; the Rich Boys' Club. There won't be a pay rise or any back-dated pay in July.

Ha! Good one...you clearly don't work in the NHS ;)

To the OP - essentially from what I have read the answer is yes, you will still get an increment on your existing increment date. Take a look here and search the page for ''increment":

Apparently not reading the wording:

Staff who are already on a pay point at the time it is to be removed will be immediately moved to the next available point, even where this does not coincide with their existing incremental date. These staff will not receive an increase on their incremental date, because they will have received their pay increase early.

Actually maybe not.

Staff will retain their existing incremental date throughout transition. On their incremental date, (if they have not already benefited from deletion of a pay point) it is expected that all staff will move to the next pay point reflecting their additional complete year of experience. Where employers have arrangements in place as a result of the 2013 changes, progression can be withheld where staff are not meeting the required standards.
 
OP, you'll get backdated pay to the new version of your current spinal point, then your spinal point will increase again at it's normal date (not back paid). Assuming you're Band 7 or below, your new spinal point might be worth more than previously as most of the bands are being compressed. If you're already at the top of your pay band, then it's not such a great deal.
 
We're finally getting our 1% from last year. The 2017 payrise, after they stopped us getting the 1% in April 2016 altogether. We're getting the 1% from April 2017, in June 2018.
Backdated to be added pay (and obviously tax) in July.
As some stage there might the April 2018 payrise.

So as it stands I'm on spine point 19. It looks like I get a backdated pay rise to £25,934 (April 2018). My increment date is October 2018.

Does that mean in October 2018 I move to £27,260 or do I need to wait until April 2019 to get that?

My understanding is that you'll move up again October, but on to the 18/19 version of Point 20 which is about a £60 increase!

Ok so if I'm understanding you correctly, I will get the point 19 pay rise between April - October 2018 and from October 2018 - March 2019 I will get the point 20 pay rise?

So should I be looking at point 20 as my starting point for the pay journey or point 19?
