Latest overtime incentive scheme announced

Because of the continued risks from ambulance handover delays and likelihood of additional demand over the Jubilee weekend, the Trust is planning to offer incentive payments for overtime shifts.

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 a minimum of 8 hours in length and 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.
No cancellation of any pre-booked overtime or sickness absence between 06.22 - 12.06.22 inclusive.
No other absences other than pre-booked annual leave.
Personal compliance with relevant IPC standards at the time are maintained.

Local areas 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.
