³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ issues guidance on the criteria for awarding bonus payments and the amounts that should be awarded for each grade.
³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ employs Clinical Academic staff who are employed on NHS National terms and conditions. Some Clinical Academics receive Excellence Awards, which are not under ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s control or funded by ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. These are, in effect, bonus payments awarded by the Department of Health & Social Care to senior Clinical Academics based on their clinical and academic contribution.
Although ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ does not decidethese bonuses, they affect the bonus pay gap at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ because a higher proportion of senior Clinical Academic staff are white. Therefore, Clinical Excellence Awards have been analysed separately.
The figures below show the bonuses for staff where ethnicity is known and stated.
