Winter bank incentive scheme
December 22, 2021
In order to support colleagues and meet capacity demands over the next two months the Trust is implementing in new scheme – ‘Work 5 Bank shifts and we will pay you for 6’.
- The scheme will commence from Wednesday 22 December and end on Monday 28 February
- For every 5 bank shifts worked a 6th shift will be paid at your normal rate – capped at Band 6
- This incentive package applies to and is open to all colleagues in the Trust
- Colleagues who work regularly on the Bank can also take part in the incentive scheme provided they do additional shifts, a min of 5 hours per shift. Regular hours worked on the bank will be identified by the average hours paid for the 13 weeks prior to 22/12/21.
How payments will be made
- The payments will be paid for shifts requiring band 2,3,4,5 and 6 staff
- Payments will be capped at Band 6 standard rate
- To qualify each shift must be a minimum of 5 hours in duration
- The shift incentive payment (the 6th shift) will be calculated as an average of the hours worked over the 5 shifts
- Payment will only be verified when all 5 shifts have been worked
- All shifts must be verified by the ward/unit manager (or deputy)
- Payment for the incentive shift will be made at the current standard rate. Staff undertaking enhanced/extended specialist rate shifts will be able to claim the incentive payment and payment will be made at the standard rate
- Incentive payments will be made to staff by 25 March 2022
Bank Holiday payments
- Colleagues working a Bank shift over the Christmas period will be paid at Bank Holiday rate for that shift (that includes the 25, 26, 27 and 28 December)
- Colleagues working one or both Bank shifts on the 1 and 3 January will also be paid at the Bank Holiday rate.
