Member contribution tier thresholds for 2023/24
Following a consultation from the department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the pensionable pay tier thresholds in the member contribution structure were increased in line with the 2023 Agenda for Change pay award for England. The uplifted tiers were implemented retrospectively and backdated to 1 April 2023. This prevented the pay award from causing members to move up a contribution tier and receive a reduction in take-home pay.
