ESCORTING
members would recall that the issue of es**rting is being discussed at the PSCBC(chamber)we are waiting in anticipation for the resolution,the circular of march 2015 on es**rting state that there must be transport allocated for es**rt nurses,overtime payment and an indemnity cover.
TRANSPORT:magement had hired a private transport company to ensure nurses don't sleep at the benches at an es**rting destinations.memorundum had being circulated to all department and wards about this,an es**rt nurse would call a number a company car would come to pick that nurse up.
OVERTIME PAYMENT: overtime payment had being athourised by the district to es**rt nurses they will now be paid in money not time,which means overtime come to force after working hours had lapse which is after 18h00.
INDEMNITY COVER:the circular in itself offer as an indemnity cover as long as the name of an es**rt nurse is entered in to the trip sheet,the destination,date,time and name of the patient are also entered that serves as a cover should anything happen.
DRIPS INSERTION AND BLOOD WIDRWAL
this issue was intensevely debated and beared no resolution,there would be a meeting sometime next week to extensively deberate on it,all parties will be involved including doctors,a resolution of harmony and team work is looming.
SUNDAY NIGHTSHIFT ALLOWANCE OWED
management had caculated everyone's hours and submitted it to the district of which the district will send it to the head office for authourisation of those payments,since such payments fall outside an institutional budget,once authorisation occur staff members will then be adviced to fill in claim forms and those forms will be sent to the head office for payments.the resolution 2007 of PSCBC came to force in 2007 which means staff members are owed from 2007,having said that management says they can be able to aquire records from 2011 not 2007 because of lack of records.
Thank you
