- NHSE and PwC have been working to update the SOLO form, as a spreadsheet, to ensure that it is easier to complete, and to make it able to passed automatically into the pensions database. This should prevent transcription errors, and speed up the process.
- I know there have been significant issues for employers, esp. OOH services, with payments not being matched to SOLO form submissions, which again prevents your pension record from updating, and one of the live cases we have with NHSE relates to this process.
- If you are an OOH employer, or if you work for one who reports problems, the new form generates a unique reference number which should be used as the reference for the BACS payment.
- NHSE are talking to groups which represent sessional and locum GPs, reportedly including NASGP, about changes to the monthly A and B, and the end-of-year forms.
- As per the January meeting, the intention is to replace the current system of locum A and B forms with a single monthly form
