IPU Staff Pay Survey

We are considering changes to our pay structure, specifically around unsociable hours.
Unsociable hours refers to shifts that fall outside the conventional workday, namely night and twilight shifts, weekend working and/or public holidays. For current clinical staff, unsociable hours payments are included in your base rate salary.

We have received feedback to suggest staff would like this reviewed. Any changes will need to be affordable and fit roughly within our expected wage bill.

You can help us by answering the following questions, which will help us design a fair and effective policy.

This short survey should take no longer than five minutes to complete.

Specific pay for holidays

Do you believe there should be an enhanced payment for working on a bank holiday (in addition to regular unsociable hours pay)?*

Yes

No

I'm not sure

Yes

No

I'm not sure

Minimum requirement for unsociable hours

If unsociable hours pay remains rolled up in annual pay (i.e., part of the base salary), should staff be required to work a minimum number of unsociable hours (e.g., weekends, nights) to qualify for that pay?*

Yes

No

I'm not sure

Would you support a policy requiring all staff to be contracted for a minimum number of unsociable hours each month if the pay remains part of the base salary?*

Yes

No

I'm not sure

If the organisation requires a minimum number of unsociable hours to be shared fairly among staff, should this be incentivised through additional payments for each unsociable shift worked or maintaining unsociable hours pay being rolled into the base pay?*

Yes, I'd prefer additional payments per shift

No, I'd prefer rolled-up base pay with a minimum unsociable hours requirement

I'm not sure
