Rules is rules according to the Arbtalk massive, until it comes to being overloaded.

 

 

 

If nurses can't afford to park where they work they should get another job.:001_smile:

 

 

The way nhs parking works is as follows, private firm runs security and car parks (usually ocs) it charges staff around £25 a month (comes out of wage not dd) for a permit to park on site or multi sites if said staff works at multiple sites. No permit or ticket and your parked long enough you receive a fine.

 

Any major repairs to car parks or barriers etc ocs or company in place pays for the work to be done they also use their own staff not nhs staff to act as security and car park attendant.

 

End of every financial year nhs receives a large percentage from ocs or said company from car park takings to reinvest back into said hospital however they see fit whilst ocs or said company keeps the rest.

 

Nurses generally start as a band 5 unless in training once training completed band 5 which starts at 22k ish and rises with yearly increments to 28k ish plus 1% annual increase on top. Specialist nurses or nurses with more responsibilities can be band 6, 7 or even 8. Top of a band 8 is 48k ish.

 

Can nurses afford to park?

 

I'll leave that up to you guys to decide.

 

Lastly all nhs staff have to pay to park even band 2 cleaners who start on 14k ish so it is not like it's 1 rule for 1 and another for everybody else.

Ok thats how it is if you say so . Should she have abandoned the patient that went into cardiac arrest to go and get another parking ticket ?

Obviously didn't read the post ...... you have a permit you don't take a ticket, permit is displayed which is usually a sticker in windscreen.

 

You would really have to be a repeat offender taking the p to have those fines stick.

 

If you weren't displaying but had a permit you would have the fine quashed under those circumstances.

 

Suppose they had to make the story good to make it news.

It is one rule for one and another rule for another.

 

How many teachers, armed forces or council workers pay to park their cars at their work place?

 

They are all public sector workers.

Permits don't have a time allowance, you could take your permit badge which operates the barriers and let 10 cars out if you wish, seriously under those circumstances she would have had the fine quashed by escalating it through upper management. The security guys can be d!cks but it's not hard to go above them and get them quashed, it happens all the time.

 

There are 2 sides to every story and your only reading 1 of them.

 

Worst case of nurse is in a union they would legally sort it for her.
