Dear All
Staff will be aware that the 2022/3 pay rates will apply from tomorrow’s pay date, however, they may not realise that the pension contribution rates have also been reviewed in line with the pay increase as per the NHS Pensions Agency rules.
As a consequence there will be a change in pension contribution tiers for staff in Bands 3, 5 and 8a and these are backdated to 1 April which means that:
However, please note that there are new pension rates for these bands from 1 October 2022 which will see the % contribution reduce for these bands. This means that for Band 8a entry level staff they will see an increase from their August salary but not until October.
I appreciate that this is complicated but the attached guidance provides further information about how the September salary will be affected. Also attached is information about the new rates coming into force from 1 October which includes a link to more information from NHS Employers.
Please can you share this information asap with team members, especially those who may see a drop in salary when they are paid tomorrow.
Finally, please note that within Wales we have introduced a means for staff who are experiencing hardship as a consequence of these changes to receive an advance of up to £200 to be repaid over 1-5 months. Please can you make staff aware of this and if appropriate arrange the advance and repayment by using the attached authorisation form and forwarding it toNWSSP.PayrollCAV@wales.nhs.uk
Thanks

Hi All
Please find link below regards the impending pension contributions increases for the majority of membership and link to NHS employers which covers Wales from the pension perspective. Have also attached the employer messages. This can be used in conversations with members as another reason why £1,400 is not enough.

Dear Colleague,
ROBIN HOOD TAX CAMPAIGN AND UNISON
Nine Welsh local authorities have already signed up to the Robin Hood Tax. Is your council one of them? We want all UNISON Cymru Wales branches to encourage their councils, AM and MP to sign up to the Robin Hood Tax, which could potentially deliver millions of pounds for public services in Wales.
Robin Hood Tax resources are attached for your use.
The PowerPoint presentation is also attached and below is a link to the councillor’s hub with model motions and briefings etc.

With best wishes,
