Qualification & Extra Duties Pay Rises

Question:

Does any one have set guideline in your practice for paying nurses, receptionist and dentist in terms of their experience, qualifications etc.

How do you justify their pay rise in terms of additional postgraudate courses they do/additional roles they take on in the practice/or any thing else?

If you have any information in relation to this subject that you are willing to share will really help.

Answer:

We pay a qualification pay rise of 25p an hour for additional qualification; ie x-ray, oral hygiene exams etc.

Other to this we pay cost of living rise each April but we do have a structured pay scale with bands for levels of experience and duties.
