How will it differ from the present pay system?
The biggest difference for NHS staff is that basic pay will depend solely on job weight, not job title or occupation. This will ensure that staff who take on significantly more knowledge, skills or responsibility will be paid more without artificial ceilings imposed by occupation or job title. The biggest difference for NHS employers is that in future there will be no artificial constraints imposed by national grading definitions. They can design any role they want provided they set pay fairly on the basis of job weight.
