Group Discussion Split into small groups and consider..... • Problems you have encountered with rostering • Discuss how you have solved these problems • Identify what would have helped you solve problems 10
Predicted Absence Allowance (PAA) – what is your percentage (%)? NHSGGC Mental Health PAA = 25% * Other - special/ maternity leave & training 12
Reasons Rostering within the PAA % can be a problem Roster creators and approvers unfamiliar with PAA Unexpected mass absences (flu, norovirus, etc) Staff moving from other areas with pre-agreed leave Multiple maternity leave Conflicting standards set in HR policies Conflicting advice from HR advisors Achieving the core standard for SCN supervisory days SCNs only working Mon-Fri 9-5, counted in numbers Breaks required on long-day shift systems. 13
Group Discussion In small groups and explore….. • How you apply PAA when rostering • How you currently calculate PAA • Who monitors PAA for your ward/ service • Views on SCN Workforce Planning Toolkit • If there are any changes that you need to make to your rostering practice. 14

Board Policy & Guidance Nursing & Midwifery Rostering Policy Monitoring & Escalation Guidance Ensuring right mix of nursing skills, experience & competency within all of our clinical areas at all times is a complex matrix of interdependent systems and processes both clinical and operational. Policy and Guidance aim to support the decision making of staff who have responsibility for safe and effective staff decision making on a day to day, shift by shift basis. 20
Roster Rules 4 week (min.) roster made available in advance to staff Rosters are fair, consistent, using existing resources Compliance with UK Working Time Directives (shifts/breaks) Aware of ward’s funded establishment Agreed minimum number of staff rostered for each shift Apply agreed ward skill mix Minimum of 2 registered nurses rostered per shift Appropriate gender mix Required level/skill/ competency maintained for each shift (including out of hours/ weekends) Apply PAA % (sick 8% + annual 14% + other 3% = 25%) 21
Roster Rules continued... Allocate planned annual leave over the calendar year (ensure PAA= 14%) Planned leave prioritised over unplanned leave e.g. Statutory/Mandatory training is prioritised over other study/parental leave Calculate PAA% prior to applying maximum planned leave allocations Unplanned leavei.e. Sickness (8%) & Special/Maternity (3%) of the PAA is monitored and taken into consideration when allocating planned leave so that overall 25% PAA is applied Mentors rostered to supervise nursing students Plan statutory/ mandatory training over calendar year 22
