NEGATIVES

The extension of plain time to 7am–9pm on weekdays (currently 7am–

7pm on weekdays). This would mean work is paid at standard rates
until 9pm. This doesn’t mean a standard day will become longer, but it
will be less expensive for employers to schedule work at that time.
(does it mean twilight will be paid as normal rates)

There is no equivalent right to decline elective work in premium time to

the one currently in the associate specialist contract. However, if an AS
doctor decides this provision is important to them, they can choose to
stay on their existing contract.
