How much are you earning

[Band6]

I do a seven hour locum on Saturdays when it doesn't clash with hospital commitments, so two or three times a month. 7 x £25 = £175, plus 40 miles at 40p a mile = £16. Altogether £191/day.

On-call is a serious pain in the a*se. You either get called for somethng really stupid that could wait; or something really serious and you're the one who has to figure out an answer at half three in the morning.

When I was in industry I was on 22k plus approx one month bonus at Christmas plus a car.
I was made redundant in 1986 and entered community on 15k with no expenses or car. After a year of this I left to become a rep and was then on 12.5K to start. I made the rest up with weekend locums and I got a car and expense account, ie we were allowed to claim about £6/day lunch. I took sandwiches.

Thus took a drop of about 30% leaving industry for community.

However, on starting in industry in 1961 I dropped from £1,400/yr to £900.

However industry provided a car, lunch allowance, BUPA, expenses etc. I was also doing locums in the evening and at weekends.

at my current booking level for august, I work out to be earning just above £24/hr and annual projection of 36,000, mind you thats including the big discount i've given my previous employer, so value would be closer to 40k otherwise, many people saw me work and wanted my services, so i got quite alot of bookings quite quickly.

damn web ferret and raju...didn't reliae that £50k plus salaries were in existance...thought 45k plus was pretty rare. Jeff seems to have a decent deal..again, didn't realise that ltd co/self emplyed tax was so little...1k/yr?

Agree, though, 'take home' pay would be a better indicator, as well as holidays taken, w/e's worked..think raju & ferret would get pretty shredded in these
respects.

Band 6 - is on-call required for employed staff that work 2-3days/wk?
