The user terms & conditions of the Doctors Paycheck website and services.

This page informs you of our policies regarding your access and usage of the site and any associated services, and constitutes a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("You"), and Us. By installing, accessing or using the Site and/or its services you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions in their entirety. If you do not agree with all of these terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Site.

You agree, to the fullest legally permitted extent, to grant Us a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid right and license to host, store, transfer, publicly display, transform, communicate, reproduce, modify, or otherwise use any such material, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels, in each instance whether now known or developed hereafter.

Usage
Currently, Doctors Paycheck is suitable for doctors in training in England employed on the 2016 Terms and Conditions only. Doctors Paycheck is not currently suitable to calculate pay for dentists employed on the 2016 Terms and Conditions, or doctors working in nations other than England. Locally Employed Doctors who are employed on a contract in line with the 2016 Terms and Conditions can check their pay with Doctors Paycheck. Doctors Paycheck is not able to calculate pay for doctors working on the 2002 Terms & Conditions.
Site Content
The content and calculations within the site have been created through close scrutiny of the 2016 Terms and Conditions of Service, the Pay Circulars, the NHS Employers terms and conditions of service handbook and other NHS Employers pay resources. Where contractual clauses were deemed to be ambiguous we have clarified their exact meaning with NHS Employers. There are, however, certain aspects that remain open to interpretation due to a lack of clear contractual definitions or procedures. In these instances, there may be more than one correct way to calculate a given pay element. The aspects of pay calculations that we note remain open to interpretation are:
- Rounding of calculated values to the nearest pound.
- The exact form of weekend work used to calculate a LTFT doctor’s pro-rata commitment to the full-time weekend rota.
- With regards to accounting for prospective cover:
- Deduction of days from study leave allowance if doctors have protected rostered study leave built into the rota.
- Deduction of leave allowance if doctors are given a leave allowance in hours.
- The length of a standard shift when multiple applicable options are rostered.
In these instances it may be possible for entities to calculate a salary differently, whilst remaining contractually correct. At Doctors Paycheck, we endeavour to utilise the most reasonable and widely accepted method in calculating these elements. If a discrepancy relating to one of these elements / ambiguities affects you, we advise you to contact your employer for clarity.
