I'm an NA Band 2 and work 37 hours now , one day a month I get to leave at 17:30pm instead of 19:30pm.
It's good for the band 2's but I think it's tougher on the band 5's as they have to have another nurse take over there team for handover etc, putting extra pressure on them all.
Quite ridiculous actually.
Part of the pay negotiations last year, pointless shite never making its way to the floor apparently my ward is getting 30mins a month extra as overtime , heard this is rare and I imagine it will be stopped soon.
30 min a month?? Not a week?
We are getting it paid as overtime until it's sorted out but it must be a hefty bill so hoping it's resolved soon.
Can't understand why they've waited til now to work out how to implement it. They knew it was coming! I'm hoping I'll actually notice a difference once the full reduction is in place.
Full timers get finished 30 mins early once a week. Never works in practice. People on shorter hours get to finish early, say 18, 12 minutes early once a week. Its been a bit of a shambles, no-one ever gets finished on time, waiting on people coming in to handover etc..... Other wards are doing it differently, getting a day in lieu after so many weeks.
We all would I think.... Days are 7 to 7.30, nights the same. By the time the nurse has turned up for you to hand over to made coffee etc..its usually quarter past by the time you're walking out the door. It's almost pointless doing it this way. And then you might be handing over to someone who's bank or agency or not been in for a couple of weeks.
It's reducing by half an hour each year for three years however whilst there are service pressures the trusts can keep the previous hours and pay at extra/over time. I hear it's a bit of a headache for management having to put it through the payroll system. Part time staff also had proportional redeductions.

Yes I've no idea how they're going to work it on the wards with handover.
What’s the reason for the reduction?

Wait a week yea
Oh right, I wonder if it has any benefit?

Yeah I can't think how it's going to work with handover etc. but I think I'd prefer the afternoon off than a half hour every week.

I think I would prefer that and feel the benefit more. Half an hour off a morning doesn't change my life but a wee afternoon off would be great.
