The health and well-being of staff is of upmost importance and we will be monitoring NHSP activity closely to ensure staff are being responsible when booking shifts. It is really important to remember that if you are not well enough to attend work, you must continue to follow Trust policy to ensure you protect patients and keep your colleagues safe. You should not attend work if you are experiencing symptoms of illness, are becoming unwell or have not fully recovered from a previous episode of sickness.
This will still be classed as a cancellation and something we strongly advise against. Please only book shifts you can commit to working to support reducing cancellations at the trust.
The shift will not be counted towards the minimum hours required to receive the bonus payment. These shifts must be reported to the NHSP local team. No worker will be asked to move to an area outside of their level of competence.
No, self-isolation shifts are not included.
Agency staff can migrate to the Bank to take advantage of the incentive; they would be able to join via the Bank Exclusive process. However, they/we MUST give 4 weeks’ notice to their agency in writing. Once they have worked on the bank they cannot work at WHH via the agency in the future.
Yes, all shifts worked including the bonus payment will be subject to Tax. Payment will be received alongside any other shifts released for the same pay date. Payslips may not show if you are expecting to receive the bonus payment only on 20th May 2022, however you can access your bonus by signing up to MYSBS app where payslips will show.
Contact WHH@nhsprofessionals.nhs.uk to raise a query. If there has been an error or a review is undertaken, any payment will be rectified for a later pay date.
*We have found over the previous incentives staff missing out due to timesheet errors or non standard shifts not amounting to the required amount, please double check your own hours and ensure before the date you have achieved the requirement*
Programmed activity is not available during this time.
Yes. CSWD/PSS workers will be allowed to move wards if their usual ward does not have enough hours to allow for qualification.
This is because many of the substantive staff already work 37.5 hrs per week on their WHH Trust contract.
