Equal Pay Actions
It is good practice and reflects the values of NHS Golden Jubilee that pay is awarded fairly and equitably.
We will:
-
Review this policy, statement and action points with trade unions, staff networks and professional organisations as appropriate, every 2 years and provide a formal report within 4 years;
-
Inform employees how pay practices work and how their own pay is determined;
-
Provide training and guidance for managers and for those involved in making decisions about pay and benefits and grading decisions to ensure fair, non-discriminatory and consistent practice;
-
Examine our existing and future pay practices for all our employees, including part-time workers, those on fixed term contracts or contracts of unspecified duration, and those on pregnancy, maternity or other authorised leave;
-
Undertake regular monitoring of our practices in line with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010; including carrying out and using the results of equality impact assessments.
-
Consider, and where appropriate, contribute to equal pay reviews in line with guidance to be developed in partnership with the workforce and Trade Union representatives.
Responsibility for implementing this policy is held by the NHS Golden Jubilee Chief Executive with the Director of People and Culture having lead responsibility for the delivery of the policy.
If a member of staff wishes to raise a concern at a formal level within NHS Golden Jubilee relating to equal pay, the NHS Scotland Grievance Policy is available for their use.
