The health and well-being of staff are of utmost importance and we will be monitoring NHSP activity closely to ensure staff is 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 the 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.
If during the incentive period, you are off work due to sickness absence from your substantive post, you must have resumed your usual full range of duties for a period of 2 weeks (i.e. not on a phased return to work) and be both physically and mentally well before booking further shifts via NHSP. The Trust will work closely with NHSP if this is felt to be an issue.
Consideration will obviously be given to those staff members who currently come under the criteria as determined by the Equality Act 2010. This will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and reasonable adjustments made accordingly.
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.
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 SO via the agency in the future.
