answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2024 answer text <p>Employers in the National Health Service offer a broad range of salary sacrifice schemes, which have varying value. The interaction with the national minimum wage (NMW) must be considered for all employees that participate in one or more of these schemes, to ensure that participation does not breach HM Revenue and Customs’ rules. The Department is currently working with employers in the NHS to understand the potential impacts of the NMW increase on access to salary sacrifice schemes for all NHS staff.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 20/05/2024 08:10:42 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

uin	21172
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2024 answer text <p>As part of the 2018 deal, all pay bands underwent a significant amount of structural reform. The reform included reducing the length of time it takes to reach the top of most pay bands, improving pay progression, and removing all overlap between pay bands. As such, the time taken to progress to the top of Band 4 has been reduced from six years to three years. The time taken to progress varies by band. This is to reflect the time needed to develop the knowledge and skills to perform at the top of the relevant band.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 17/04/2024 08:59:44 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
