Update: Winter bank incentive scheme payments

April 8, 2022

We are aware of issues raised by colleagues regarding the winter bank incentive scheme payments.  The bank team are working to resolve this matter as soon as they can.

Clarification on qualification for the incentive scheme

• Bank only colleagues who work regularly on the bank were able to qualify for the incentive scheme provided they did 5 additional shifts, a min of 5 shifts of 5 hours or more per shift. Regular hours worked on the bank have been identified by the average hours paid for the 13 weeks prior to 22 December 2021.
• For all substantive staff who worked bank during the qualifying period – for every 5 shifts worked (5 hours or more) 1 incentive payment will be made.
• The incentive will be paid at your normal bank rate – capped at level 6.

All payments will be reviewed and revised and an update will be issued in due course.
