Re-Banding Approval System Overview

Re-banding a group of posts requires a dialog and passage of information between the trust involved and their SHA (or WDC). If both parties use DRS then this process can be simplified by use of a shared database that can be accessed over the Internet.

Both parties have a view of the database that is suited to their needs.

 

Approval Stages

The process of re-banding approval moves through up to three stages:

 

Template Approval This is an optional initial stage. The new work pattern has been designed and the Trust is seeking approval of the concept.

Implementation Approval. The work pattern is designed and agreed by all parties at the Trust. An implementation date is been set. The Trust may also ask for provisional re-banding permission so that after implementation the doctors can be paid in line with the new band. Otherwise, pay is at the old band rates until the re-banding is formally approved.

Formal Approval. The new working practises must be monitored for a reasonable period and the results must support the proposed new band. The SHA/WDC will specify the final band to be paid.
