For your information Authorising Timesheets It is a statutory requirement that breaks are taken for shifts of 6 hours or longer. These breaks are unpaid and must appear on timesheets. NHSP:Online booking system automatically sets default breaks of a minimum of 30 minutes. As with the actual shift times, break duration can be amended when authorising the etimesheet. Note: Statutory breaks are a minimum of 20 minutes for shifts of 6 hours or longer. Agency cascade NHS Professionals will always try to fill shifts with an NHS Professionals worker first. However where this is not possible there is a need to work with third party agencies to ensure all staffing requirements are covered. Ward changes/split shifts Staffing requirements are constantly changing and patient needs can lead to workers being required to move during shifts. If this was to occur there would be a requirement to create a split shift to ensure that it would come out of the correct budget. There are two methods to complete this: 1. If you are authorised to book for more than one ward you will be able to complete this online. Refer to the web user guide for further information. 2. Contact our Service Centre on 0845 450 4379 between the hours of 06:30-22:00 with the original shifts reference number and a Placement Officer will be glad to help you. Complaints & Feedback At NHS Professionals we value the comments and opinions of our partner organisations, staff, patients and public so that we can further improve our service. You can access our online feedback via the contact us page of the NHS Professionals web site: www.nhsprofessionals.nhs.uk/contact
