Can anyone please tell me when it was officially announced in writing that if you didn't pass the RNFT you would lose 20% of your bounty this year. It was one of those rumours spread around but I have not seen any official announcement and only to my knowledge in the later part of 2006.
Surely this could be considered a fine for being unfit and only against the RNR as the RN are given extra PT and counselling if they are unfit certainly no stoppage of pay or leave as a punishment.
I know we sign a contract every 5 years but it seems that the RNR is free to change the conditions of this at will without giving any notice. I also know that this is necessary to remain flexible to meet the needs of the RN but things like this seem only to get up peoples backs and make them leave.
And before you ask I've passed mine so this doesn't effect me
