St Helen's hospital loses court case

St Helen's hospital loses court case

Monday 23rd August 2010

Bosses at the St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust have lost a case over anti social hours payments, which has been seen as a landmark ruling by many in hospital doctor jobs.

According to the St Helen's Reported, an employment tribunal has now ruled that the unsocial hours payment given to female workers with the trust was unlawful.

The case was brought by a group of female employees who argued that they should be able to get the same pay rates on bank holidays and weekends that male workers receive.

"Male staff were receiving a time and a half for working Saturdays and double time for Sundays and bank holidays, while their female counterparts were earning time and a third for Saturdays and time and two thirds for Sundays and bank holidays," the newspaper said.

Commenting on the ruling, general secretary at Unison Dave Prentis said it is "long overdue" that employers should pay men and women equally.

According to government statistics, the gender pay gap narrowed between 2008 and 2009 but still stood at more than 12 per cent at the end of last year.
