The Cat needs help

I currently work 24 hours in an outpatients clinic. Sometimes work more to cover for hols, sickness etc.

I usually put my extra hours on my timesheet and get paid the same hourly rate as my usual rate.

Our trust has now put in a proposal that all extra shifts go though the nurse bank, and we must join the nurse bank to do extra shifts. They have said that they will cap band 5 salary at mid band 5. The upshot of this is that any extra hours i will be working will be at a lesser hourly rate of pay than my normal hourly rate of pay.

Any thoughts, feelings? Just feels like a massive kick in the belly after all those unpaid hours I have worked in my many years of working for the NHS. Also, beware, may be coming to a hospital near you..........

I agree with RGN1 comments. I do not want to do overtime really, only to cover hols and sickies on my unit, so agency work would not work for me (plus I am still recovering from 2 broken bones in my lumbar spine which the A&E doc at my hospital did not diagnose from my x-ray), but that is another story.

I have e-mailed my MP to see what she makes of our heartless, moneygrabbing, nurse hating management!!
