Important pensions info:

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:  

  • staff in Band 3 and Band 5 will see an overall increase in their September pay, but for some (depending on length of service)  this may be less than many will be expecting given the pay award
  • staff at entry level (ie less than 5 years service) at Band 8a will actually have a reduction in salary in September 2022 because the pay award increase is actually less than the increase in their pension contributions.   

 

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

Rachel

NHS Pension Scheme contribution rate changes (England and Wales)

 

 

From 1 October the amount that members of the NHS pension scheme pay into the scheme may change when changes to the contribution rates come into effect. These changes may affect monthly take-home pay.

Employer contributions remain at 20.6% of pensionable earnings each month. The amount of pension received in retirement will not be affected by these changes.

NHS Employers have materials, including posters, about the new contribution rates.

Branches should ensure employers are communicating the impact of these changes to scheme members.

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.
