Your not employed as a tradesmen though?

 

It's regarding a payment called recruitment and retention.

[Ekona]

Are they not two different things?

 

What's the issue, others who are not NHS may still be able to help

Sorry, I'm not a tradesman, but i work alongside them everyday.

[Whazza22]

O right, have you heard them mention about recruitment and retention (RRP)?

All you need here, I would think

 

Stopped for newbies as from March last year, then dropping by 50% for two years for existing employees. That's the national one though, individual trusts now set it locally so it'll be lower in the north but higher in the south.

 

Massive PDF here from *spit* Unite detailing their findings

Yeah we are currently fighting for a local agreement but not many hospitals are paying it 'apparently'

 

So we are after solid evidence that other hospitals are paying it?

 

Do you or anyone you know work as a tradesmen in a hospital?

I will double check with my director as we just finished doing a liquid coated roof for a hospital up North

I ask at work over the weekend.

Spoke to some tradesmen today and they said they received 50% of the payment for 2 years after agenda for change was implemented. They no longer receive it and they cant negotiate. Its either take what you get or find another job!

Hope this helps.
