Bank Staff
Any service with the NHS, where a member of staff is employed on a bank contract is counted as reckonable service when the employee has worked for a minimum of 12 months and has worked at least 488 hours.
Is Bank work classed as continuous service?
Bank workers are generally not regarded as employees and therefore do not build up 'continuity of service' in between specific bank shifts. This is important as continuity of service affects your entitlement to certain things (such as annual leave and contractual sick pay) under the NHS terms and conditions of service.
What does reckonable service mean NHS?
Reckonable service is any previous service you have had with a recognised NHS organisation that can be taken into account when calculating your entitlement to a number of different benefits.
