Whitley council
A Whitley council, also known as a joint industrial council, is a British organization which fixes wage rates, terms and conditions in a specific industry. They have both employers and trade unions. They were started in 1917.[1]
In 1979 there were eight councils in the National Health Service covering all the NHS staff, except doctors and dentists.[2]
In 2004 a new system was started for the NHS, called Agenda for Change. It has nine numbered pay bands subdivided into points, like the old alphabetic Whitley Council 'grades' pay scales.[3]
