Provisions of bank staff

21.2 Bank staff will be paid pro rata at the appropriate spine point within the pay band for the post for which they are recruited. The appropriate spine point will be determined by previous continuous service and experience.

21.3 Please refer to Section 3

21.4 Subject to a minimum of 488 hours being worked over a 12 month period, salary increments are awarded annually. If it takes the post holder longer than 12 months to work the 488 hours their increment date will change to the date they achieved the 488 hours worked.

21.5 Bank staff will not be eligible for this payment

21.6 Please refer to Section 12 with the exception of 12.6 and 12.7 which will not apply to bank staff.

21.7 Bank staff are entitled to paid annual leave pro rata, to the minimum substantive allowance, of the hours worked e.g. pro rata to the allowance stated for 0-5 year’s service in Section 13.

A percentage of 10.3567% will be paid as 'NR Holiday Pay TN' on every hour worked up to a total of 37.5 per week. This percentage has been calculated as follows:

A full time member of staff works 37.5 hours per week for 52.14 weeks per year. This is a total of 1955.25 hours worked per year. If a bank member of staff worked these hours they would be entitled to 27 days Annual Leave which is 202.5 hours.

Therefore, 202.5/1955.25*100=10.3567%

Example

A bank member of staff has worked 10 hours per week for 5 weeks and their hourly rate is 11.9887. They will receive £599.44 additional hour’s payment and £62.08 holiday pay payment, as this is 10.3567% of £599.44.

21.9 There is no entitlement to sick pay for Bank work.

21.10 This will remain in status quo in that staff will receive unsocial hour’s payments for any unsocial hours worked at the usual rate.

21.11 There is no entitlement to Maternity Leave or pay for Bank Staff
