Ensure all NHS nurses working extra hours for the NHS are paid at overtime rates
Nurses with permanent NHS employment are often only offered extra work by their employer under a separate employment contract. Pay rates are the same as their permanent role. Nurses working extra hours above their contracted time should automatically be paid agreed overtime rates.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you're concerned about overtime pay rates for NHS nurses but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Section 3 of the NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook says that all NHS staff in pay bands 1 to 7 will be eligible for overtime payments at a single harmonised rate. You can find out more here:

The Royal College of Nursing has also published information about NHS terms of employment, including overtime pay rates, here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
