1 Equality and Human Rights Screening Template The BSO is required to address the 4 questions below in relation to all its policies. It should be noted that this screening has been conducted in collaboration with and on behalf of those Trusts which are preparing to move to Single Pay Frequency. 1
2 What is the likely impact on equality of opportunity for those affected by this policy, for each of the Section 75 equality categories? (minor/major/none) Are there opportunities to better promote equality of opportunity for people within the Section 75 equality categories? To what extent is the policy likely to impact on good relations between people of a different religious belief, political opinion or racial group? (minor/major/none) Are there opportunities to better promote good relations between people of a different religious belief, political opinion or racial group? As part of the audit trail documentation needs to be made available for all policies and decisions examined for equality and human rights implications. The screening template is a pro forma to document consideration of each screening question. 2
3 SCREENING TEMPLATE See Guidance tes for further information on the why what when, and who in relation to screening, for background information on the relevant legislation and for help in answering the questions on this template. (1) INFORMATION ABOUT THE POLICY OR DECISION 1.1 Title of policy or decision Moving weekly/fortnightly paid staff to monthly paid. 1.2 Description of policy or decision what is it trying to achieve? (aims and objectives) Following the implementation of payroll shared services, there are a number of HSC staff on various pay frequencies i.e. weekly, fortnightly and monthly and this includes individuals who hold multiple contracts within the HSC Organisation. The aim of this decision is to have one pay frequency for all HSC staff which will endeavour to reduce the amount of payroll activity on a monthly basis and to get to the anticipated benefits of the HRPTS System as identified at the beginning of the BSTP programme. This will help deliver further savings which can be diverted back into front line care. how will this be achieved? (key elements) Those staff, who hold a permanent or temporary contract, on weekly/fortnightly pay cycle will be transferred to a monthly pay cycle. HSC Organisations who employ staff in this situation will be conducting further consultation with both staff and their trade union representatives in regard to the detail of implementation. Arrangements will be put in place with those affected to ensure no employee suffers any detriment or hardship and to enable a smooth transition to the new pay cycle. what are the key constraints? (for example financial, legislative or other) As mentioned above, there may be some financial constraints around moving to a single pay frequency, however, HSC will ensure that no detriment/hardship is experienced by any employee moving to a single pay frequency by providing advance payments on request which can be paid back over a period of time 4
4 1.3 Main stakeholders affected (internal and external) For example staff, actual or potential service users, other public sector organisations, voluntary and community groups, trade unions or professional organisations or private sector organisations or others The main stakeholders affected are those on weekly/fortnightly pay cycles. 1.4 Other policies or decisions with a bearing on this policy or decision what are they? who owns them? 5
5 (2) CONSIDERATION OF EQUALITY AND GOOD RELATIONS ISSUES AND EVIDENCE USED 2.1 Data gathering What information did you use to inform this equality screening? For example previous consultations, statistics, research, Equality Impact Assessments (EQIAs), complaints. Provide details of how you involved stakeholders, views of colleagues, service users, staff side or other stakeholders. Following a period of regional engagement with the Trade Unions in relation to single pay frequency, the BSO received screening data from each of the HSC Trusts Equality Units who provided a breakdown of those affected by the implementation of single pay frequency by S75 categories. It should be noted that there has been no local stakeholder engagement in regard to this matter. Please also note that the Western HSC Trust is not included in this as they have moved all their weekly/fortnightly paid staff to a monthly payroll cycle prior to the implementation of HRPTS system. 6
6 2.2 Quantitative Data Who is affected by the policy or decision? Please provide a statistical profile. te if policy affects both staff and service users, please provide profile for both. Also give consideration to multiple identities. Category Gender What is the makeup of the affected group? ( %) Are there any issues or problems? For example, a lower uptake that needs to be addressed or greater involvement of a particular group?

8 2.3 Qualitative Data What are the different needs, experiences and priorities of each of the categories in relation to this policy or decision and what equality issues emerge from this? te if policy affects both staff and service users, please discuss issues for both. Also give consideration to multiple identities (such as single parents for example). 9
9 Category Gender Age Needs and Experiences Moving to a single pay frequency may have an impact more on females as males. There may be further transitionery impact for females as they may have more issues regarding regular payment for general utilities, childcare etc. There may be a need to help staff avoid late payment charges and hardship i.e. if they have Direct Debits/Standing Orders in place and no funds to cover these payments. This proposal may impact on lower paid workers initially but not exclusively - (especially women with dependants single parents more so) some of whom may be dependent on other funding streams/benefits to manage their finances. There are a higher proportion of older people (aged 45 and over) in the affected group than in each of the Trusts individual workforces. There are a higher proportion of people in age group in the affected group in two of the Trusts individual workforce; however, this is only by a very small %. There is potential for an adverse impact on both of these groups as it may be considered that older and younger people may have more difficultly adapting to monthly salary payments. Religion Political Opinion Marital Status There is no evidence that staff moving to a single pay frequency would have a particular needs based on this category. There is no evidence that staff moving to a single pay frequency would have particular needs based on this category. There is a lower proportion of married people in this category than in each of the Trusts overall workforce. However, there are three (BHSCT, SEHSCT & NHSCT) of the four Trusts where those in the single category of marital status are higher than their respective overall Trust workforce. The proposal may have a higher impact on individuals in single households. Some individuals may find it difficult to adjust to, plan and manage major household finances on a monthly basis. The transition may potentially be more difficult for weekly paid staff than for those staff who are paid on a fortnightly basis. 10
10 Dependent Status There does not seem to be any area within caring responsibility that is higher than their respective overall Trust workforce, However, there is a potential for a negative impact on those who pay for caring provisions on a weekly basis. Disability There is a higher proportion of staff with a disability in the NHSCT and the SEHSCT than their respective overall disabled workforce. There is a potential adverse impact where payment for caring provision, support mechanisms, utilities etc. is required on a weekly basis. Depending on the nature of the disabilities of those affected, there may be a need for advocacy services in negotiating changes to payment arrangements for caring provisions, linking in with financial institutions to manage direct debits, standing orders etc.. Likewise, staff that have a learning disability may need additional support in managing their budget differently. Ethnicity Sexual Orientation There is no evidence that staff moving to a single pay frequency would have particular needs based on this category. There is no evidence that staff moving to a single pay frequency would have particular needs based on this category. 11
11 Making Changes Based on the equality issues you identified in 2.2 and 2.3, what changes did you make or do you intend to make in relation to the policy or decision in order to promote equality of opportunity? In developing the policy or decision what did you do or change to address the equality issues you identified? thing planned as yet. What do you intend to do in future to address the equality issues you identified? In preparation of the implementation of single pay frequency, the Regional Terms & Conditions Assistant Director Network had ensured that any lessons learnt from the implementation of single pay frequency in the Western Health & Social Care Trust would be incorporated into locally developed communication/implementation plans. Each Trust s HR Directorate, in conjunction with Payroll Shared Services, will continue to offer advice and guidance to those affected by this proposal in order to reduce or negate any negative impact this may have. To mitigate against staff potentially suffering any financial difficulties, Trusts will consult locally. Information sessions will be arranged for those affected and will include collating concerns and development of localised action plans for addressing. The offer of clinics with providers such as Citizens Advice Bureau on how to manage personal finances and budgets. Collaboration via the Human Resources Assistant Director Network will also aim to ensure consistency/consensus on actions to 12
12 be taken are reached. It is suggested that those affected staff could request a bridging arrangement prior to their penultimate current pay frequency. Any advance would be paid back through deduction over a repayment period no longer than 12 months. Consideration of a reasonable period of notice before implementation will be agreed, hopefully similar to the notice period provided by the Western Health & Social Care Trust. 2.4 Good Relations What changes to the policy or decision if any or what additional measures would you suggest to ensure that it promotes good relations? (refer to guidance notes for guidance on impact) Group Impact Suggestions Religion Political Opinion Ethnicity ne ne ne 13
13 (3) SHOULD THE POLICY OR DECISION BE SUBJECT TO A FULL EQUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT? A full equality impact assessment (EQIA) is usually confined to those policies or decisions considered to have major implications for equality of opportunity How would you categorise the impacts of this decision or policy? (refer to guidance notes for guidance on impact) Please tick: Major impact Do you consider that this policy or decision needs to be subjected to a full equality impact assessment? Please tick: Minor impact Yes further impact Please give reasons for your decisions. The quantitative and qualitative data shows that there are no issues of major concerns raised. It is envisaged that those categories affected will be offered the appropriate support by each individual Trust along with payroll shared services. All staff will be treated equally in terms of their pay date, frequency and method of payment. It is anticipated that those affected by moving to single pay frequency will be provided with the appropriate support to assist them in a smooth transition to single pay frequency along with appropriate contact information relating to payroll shared services and HR Departments. 14
