Overtime Incentive Scheme

New fleet_2019

Due to potential pressures within the NHS, the Trust is offering incentive payments for selected overtime shifts later this month.  

The additional payments are available on specified dates in specified areas, subject to advanced authorisation. To remain eligible for the additional payments: 

  • Only the dates and times specified on the table below attract the additional payments. 
  • Only the resource types or specialism on the table below attract the additional payments. 
  • Shifts must be agreed with local manager or Sector Resource Planning Manager in advance. 
  • Overtime will be paid at the applicable AfC rate. 
  • All part time, full time and bank staff are eligible for the additional payments. 
  • For overtime shifts worked, no cancellation of any pre-booked overtime or sickness absence between Sunday 16th July to Monday 31st July inclusive. 
  • No other absences other than pre-booked annual leave or positive COVID-19 diagnosis (it is the employee’s responsibility to provide LFT evidence to their line manager).  
  • Personal compliance with relevant IPC and COVID-19 standards at the time are maintained.  

Local teams will dynamically control the availability of overtime shifts based on their staffing need/risk; therefore specific arrangements/limits may exist in certain areas.  

It is the responsibility of all staff to ensure that the Working Time Directive is complied with. Managers will ensure the wellbeing of all staff undertaking additional duties and maintain compliance with statutory rest periods.  

Please contact your locality planner to book shifts or speak to your line manager for any further information.
