Session Types
Specify the session type to ensure the correct pension calculations
The NHS pension scheme uses 3 categories of locum work for calculating your pension. Each session must be assigned the correct category (session type) to ensure it appears on the correct pension form.
PennyPerfect also provides two session types for recording work that is not to be included in your NHS pension forms.
| Session Type | Description |
|---|---|
| NHS Normal | For normal NHS locum sessions, not deputising for another doctor or working out of hours. These sessions appear on pension forms A and B. |
| NHS OOH Standard | For out of hours (OOH) sessions where you are not deputising for an absent doctor. These sessions appear on pension form SOLO. |
| For OOH sessions where you are deputising for an absent doctor. These sessions appear on pension forms C and D. |
|
| NHS Unpensioned | For NHS work you dont want included on the pension forms, e.g. you are not a member of the NHS scheme, or have a different pension arrangement with the practice (perhaps because you are a salaried GP). These sessions do not appear on any pension forms. |
| Private | For non-NHS work. These sessions do not appear on any pension forms. |
Session types and invoicing
The session type has no effect on how the sessions appear on the invoices.
