Removal of upper & lowers in Grades D & E

Lloyds Banking Group has announced that it will remove the upper and lower levels from grades D and E from 1st August 2021 which means there’ll be a single grade D and a single grade E.

In the joint discussions we proposed and agreed an approach to the pay range for the new grades which means:

More information is being provided by the Group in briefings to staff in grades D & E.

This change is part of a cultural change programme to simplify the grading structure. The programme will also result in the simplification of grades H and above.

We know that grade means more than pay to some members and there may be questions about the impact of this change on the 2022 Pay Review. These issues will be worked through in the joint talks later in the year.

So, it’s a great time to share your thoughts with us and help shape the next stage of the joint discussions. Please email [email protected]
