Bank Holiday Deadlines - Easter and May 2015 Back

Dear Agency Worker

Please take note of the following to ensure prompt payment during the upcoming 2015 bank holiday periods. Please make sure that your timesheets arrive at the Head Office by post, hand delivered (92-96 Lind Road, Sutton, SM1 4PL), or email wages@a24group.com as follows:

Please also note the following regarding the deadline for week ending 29/03/15:
 
1. Timesheet submission - end of Tax Year 2014/2015, weekending 29/03/15 (shifts including Sunday 29 March 2015).
 
*Weekending 29/03/15 is the last week of the Tax Year 2014/2015 so please get your timesheets into us well before 09.30am Monday 30 March 2015 deadline. For example: If you are working for the whole of the week previous, please send in your timesheets as you complete shifts rather than try to send them all on the Monday morning following that week's work. Due to the tight timescales Payroll will be processing timesheets as soon as they come in to ensure we can pay you promptly on Thursday 02 April 2015 for the work you have completed the previous week. This should also simplify matters for you before we go into the new Tax Year (2015/2016, weekending 05/04/15).
 
2.  Payroll - Telephone calls - hours over the Bank holidays
 
In order to ensure we can pay you promptly over this period we need to notify you that we will not be taking Payroll calls on Monday 30 March and Tuesday 31 March 2015, but lines will re-open at 9am on Wednesday 01 April 2015.
 
Thank you and Regards

BNA wins Platinum Award!

BNA British Nursing Association wins Platinum Award In LPP London Procurement Programme For Nursing Agency Services

Nursing agency BNA British Nursing Association has been awarded platinum status following a full audit by the NHS London Procurement Programme, the national procurement partner for UK public services. The audit demonstrates the nursing agency's commitment to supporting the NHS by ensuring the availability of high quality agency nurses, cost-effectively, with secure compliance systems in place.

The audit focused on the recruitment by BNA British Nursing Association of temporary nursing staff for NHS Trusts through the London Procurement Programme (LPP) framework. The agency was awarded the LPP Framework for Nursing: it supplies nursing staff for hospital, primary care and domestic home settings.

The agency has extensive experience in working with the NHS and has developed amongst the most advanced compliance systems in the sector to maximise safety in the recruitment, management and selection of nurses and HCA healthcare assistants for shifts, with a 24-7 service to meet all temporary staffing needs. The agency's compliance team has 124 staff dedicated exclusively to credentials checks.

Key features of the agency's systems include the bespoke Enterprise ICT compliance system - with over 100,000 hours of development time over 6 years. Nurse registration requires mandatory face-to-face interviews; comprehensive credentials checks; CRB; completion of a 23-page career form; provision of four referees; and presentation of professional certifications.

On-going training for nursing staff at the agency includes 13 mandatory courses annually, with 60 training events for 900 candidates monthly. Compliance protection features daily system-generated 'expiry reports' of training dates; automated e-mail expiry reminders to candidates; and automatic system exclusion of staff from booking in Enterprise if certification expires.
