Supplements
In addition to basic pay, NHS staff are entitled to receive certain supplements according to the location of their employer and any additional hours they work. This section explains the additional benefits you might be eligible to receive, such as the High Cost Area (HCA) allowance and unsocial hours payments.
The Royal College of Nursing is currently running a consultation with its members about changes to the unsocial hours scheme. For more information about the consultation, which ends on 18 February 2008, visit the unsocial hours page.
