Weekly Bank Pay Cut Off
It has been agreed that we can extend the deadline for Bank shifts to be finalised to 9.30am each Monday. When the Monday is a Bank Holiday we will update you of the cut off for that week.
June Substantive Pay Cut Off
The deadline for finalising June’s substantive shifts is Tuesday 5 July. Please ensure your roster is finalised by this date. Failure to do so disrupts payment of enhancements and overtime for the full trust.
Bank Holidays
Any staff who would normally work a Thursday or a Friday but due to the Bank Holidays this month did not work will need to have their shift replaced with a Bank Holiday to prevent overpayment of enhancements. This applies to Thursday 2 June and Friday 3 June for this finalisation. You can apply the bank holiday in the same way you add Annual Leave – selecting the “Reason” as Bank Holiday.
Bank Workers Mandatory Training
We recently sent communication to all bank workers identified as being non-compliant with Mandatory Training. These staff will no longer be able to book shifts directly and will need to contact the Temporary Staffing Team who will book training and extend access to shift booking for a further month to allow staff to continue working. If possible, we would ask ward managers to support this process by checking mandatory training compliance for bank workers whilst on the ward. If staff are identified as non-compliant, please ask them to contact the Temporary Staffing Team
Breaks
As per Trust policy, Line Managers/Team Leaders should ensure that staff take breaks during their shifts (where applicable). This should be managed within services as part of the rota. Colleagues are required to take an uninterrupted break of at least 20 minutes when working time is more than 6 hours. The full policy HR39: European Working Time Directive can be found on Sharepoint.
Overtime
Managers should attempt to fill shifts through additional hours or bank before offering overtime. If overtime is offered this should be authorised and added to roster in advance of the shift being completed.
Please ensure you are selecting the correct Overtime Type when applying Overtime to shifts on Roster as this affects the amount staff are paid for these shifts.
