Nurses have not had a significant pay rise for over 5 years and we HAVE effectively had an increase in car parking charges. Night staff used to be able to park free but have had to pay to park at night since Vinci Parking took over. Some members of staff have also effectively had a pay cut. On our ward we have changed our shift patterns. Where we used to work a late shift to 21:15 we now work to 20:00. Extra duty payment for unsocial hours starts at 20:00 so we have lost 1 1/4 hrs extra duty payment every time we work a late shift. Of course we gain that on a night shift but most staff only work nights once a month. In any case doubling the amount we pay to park is just not on!
