What is exactly Company Sick Pay Offset?
I am looking for some information regarding Company sick pay offset. One of my collogue from work was on sick in March for 6 working days. At that time she was not entitled sick payment for the first 3 days, so the company paid SSP and then deducted (this is the normal procedure). So far so good, but on her pay slip there…

Hi, my employer is currently trying to swap my shift around. My shift pattern and working hours will not change, but I will be moving to a new team which moves my pattern a week forward.

Sideways move offered but step up opportunities elsewhere
Hi, A bit of a long one; bare with me please! I've just started job hunting and have applied for a number of jobs. One was my dream role (I thought) and would have been a step up. I made it to the second round and am now awaiting next steps but I think I bombed it, and am unlikely to get it. The recruitment (hr) process…

Unused leave buy-out proposal is missing some benefit (equity)
Hello Please could you offer some advice. My employer is changing leave rules so that unused leave can no longer be carrier forward, and so is buying-out everyone's excess balance. This is fine. My remuneration is made up of cash and equity. Let's say for the sake of example I get £30k cash and £10K equity per year. I'm…

Reduced Hours. Feels Strange.
I've dropped from 5 days to 4 in the NHS. Mentally needed some time away from work as we're under a lot of pressure and the opportunities for development have not been there. I feel a lot better as a result but unfortunately my manager seems to have let slip that it was for mental health reasons and I overheard colleagues…

New job - not enough work
Hi everyone. I started a new job a few months ago but it feels like there’s not a full time job for me here and I’m finding it quite demoralising. Other new people in the team are in the same position and we’re trying to generate work but how long that will take is a “how long is a piece of string” situation. The people…

If you were in my shoes....
The good old nhs pay new staff higher wages if they do a 'management' role. This could be something as simple as filling in the staff annual leave calender, which they are given half a day to fulfill. They rest if the week will be filled with clinical duties that are exactly the same as the pay band lower. How would you…
