The New Employment Model (NEM) commenced on 01 April 2016 and it is estimated, that over the five years to 01 April 2021, there will be an additional £127.1 million of net investment in the pay bill, in real terms, above that of Pay 2000.

Given the complexity of the pay bill, the profile of this difference changes over time, however, it is expected that the difference in real terms, in year 1 (April 2016 to March 2017), will be in the order of £80 million.
