Supporting you through change
We know that Pay and Reward may be a cause of worry for some colleagues and we want to ensure that you feel supported throughout this process.
Your manager has not been directly notified of your pay outcome, but please talk to them in the first instance, if you have any questions about Pay and Reward that you are not able to find answers on this website.
In addition to your manager, here are some other resources you may find helpful to support you through this period.
