Because it's normally public sector services that have a payband not private. You may get a few but most offer a set rate when employed by them the rest comes through promotion.
I can only assume this is to ease payments coming from the Government/public purse.
You don't suddenly get 1 million NHS workers all going in at the top banding. Some will leave before they get there other might cut their hours down. Comes in handy for schools where they employ staff on a yearly contract saving money if they need to let them go after the 12 months.
