Reduced Working Week Payments - FOI Response Register

1. Could you please provide me with all costs incurred by your health board in overtime payments as a result of the reduced working week (RWW) introduced on April 1 last year, to date.

£7,676

2. Can you also please tell me, by headcount, how many staff are currently still to receive their RWW reduction (i.e they are still working 37.5 hours)

Nil. All reduced

When announcing the reduced working week the Scottish Government stated:

"If, due to service pressures, safe staffing or wellbeing issues, it is not possible for a staff member to receive their 30 minute reduction they will be recompensed accordingly, until such times as the reduction can be accommodated."

3. Can you please provide me with the total figure for payments made to staff, specifically due to the introduction of the RWW, in cases where it was deemed a 30 minute reduction was not possible?

£7,676

I understand there is a specific code used for overtime payments, and/or excess part time hours, for RWW payments as opposed to other overtime payments. It is this total figure I would like, not the total overtime bill incurred for all reasons.

4. Please provide the total figure incurred to date. Please indicate the period for which this applies (E.g April to December/January, etc.)
