HSE to axe all overtime, and increase normal working hours to justify it.

Jane5 · 2011-10-15 11:47:31

http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/hse-considers-axing-overtime-to-save-25m-524483.html Ummm, over my dead rotting corpse perhaps? The solution to understaffing and over reliance on overtime is categorically NOT increasing the amount of normal working hours so you don't have to pay for them. This will prompt an all out…

Have to disagree with you there, especially as when I got my last pay ( overtime a month in arrears) and found I was taking home 2.70 an hour after tax.

Article in todays Sunday Business Post: HSE has instructed all hospitals to pay for all hours worked including unrostered.

Interesting as this may be in response to the labour court recommendation, or the realisation that not paying NCHDs will lead to more leaving and push up the costs as they would have to pay for agency workers.

Why whats this ?

Could it be a memo from this time last year saying exactly the same thing ? I call this the annual HSE christmas shaft. Since a lot of the hospitals that are the most abusive with regard to overtime are the teaching hospitals (which the HSE technically doesnt control) this is their way of washing their hands of the unrostered over time thing. Not a damn thing happened last year, not a damn thing will happen this year. You'd be better off writing to Santa for your money.

Apparently the cause of the health services woes is that the doctors union needs to be broken!!!
