Introduction handbook
Our locum handbook has been designed as a reference guide for locums registering with InterAct Medical. It guides you through the day to day working processes of an InterAct Medical locum and what you should expect from our organisation and staff in return. Our handbook must be read prior to completing our application form and a declaration must be signed confirming that you have read and understood all aspects of it. Should you have any queries regarding any of the information highlighted in the handbook, please speak to one of our staff.

Application form
When registering with InterAct Medical, it is an essential part of our registration process that you complete our standard application form. You will be asked to complete all required information fields and sign all mandatory declarations such as opting out of “working times regulations” and signing our standard terms and conditions of employment. Our application form is split in to two parts with a pre-employment health questionnaire. Once we have received all of the required occupational health documents and a completed pre-employment screening form, we will then be able to issue a fit to work certificate from our local occupational health provider. This is essential when working in the NHS.

Timesheet
As a locum, you benefit from being included on our weekly pay roll. You are required to complete a timesheet at the end of each week or your weekly shift pattern. It is essential that you clearly mark which days were worked including your start and finish time. Please ensure that mark and breaks taken and deduct the hours accordingly. Please also be aware that in some trusts, mandatory breaks must be taken off the timesheet. This will be highlighted to you prior to the commencement of the booking. It is also a requirement for you to obtain a signature from a senior colleague prior to leaving the hospital. This will result in speedier payments. Once signed, please fax a copy to our timesheet fax number 01908 357781.

Expense claim form
In addition to your weekly timesheet, we require a completed expense sheet when applicable. This sheet will need to include all agreed aspects of travel and accommodation subject to contract terms. This will be paid as part of your weekly payroll. One of our advisors will highlight the terms of your contract at the time the booking is made and will also highlight this information on our standard confirmation of booking form. In instances where travel and accommodation are paid by the trust, a signature of authorisation will be required form a senior colleague. Please fax your expense sheet along with your timesheet.
