Pay banding
Banding supplements are paid as a proportion of basic salary, according to the number of hours and proportion of unsocial hours that doctors work. However, the intensity of work does not usually affect banding. Banding normally applies to a rota, rather than to an individual post. (For basic salary scales, please see the most recent Medical and Dental pay circular.)

A very general guide to the bands:

3 (100%) - all doctors who are non-compliant with New Deal requirements.
2a (80%) - Over 48 hrs work per week, more than 1/3 of hours unsocial
2b (50%) - Over 48 hrs work per week, less than 1/3 of hours unsocial
1a (50%) - 40-48 hrs work per week, more than 1/3 of hours unsocial
1b (40%) - 40-48 hrs work per week, less than 1/3 of hours unsocial
1c (20%) - 40-48hrs work per week, low frequency non-resident on call
Basic salary (no band) - 40 hours or less per week, all between 8am and 7pm.

(Unsocial hours = 7pm-7am Mon-Fri and all weekend duties.)

However, this is only a general guide; these are not the only criteria for pay banding. Please see the DH's document Pay Banding Criteria for full details.

Broadbanding or pay banding means a system, under which positions are grouped for pay, job evaluation, and other purposes, that differs from the General Schedule pay and classification system as a result of combining the grades and related ranges of pay for one or more occupational series.
