&lt;p&gt;I agree with PRP having been part of such schemes in many jobs I&amp;#39;ve had in the past. That said, it needs to be an OBJECTIVE performance measurement and not subjective. Plus it needs to be pro-rated and fairly applied so it isn&amp;#39;t weighted against anyone who can&amp;#39;t deliver (as opposed to won&amp;#39;t deliver) due to their role dynamic.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ivc</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/175411?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Oct 2019 09:09:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:b9ffa4fe-a625-4a8d-ab0c-8c803c0c5c16</guid><dc:creator>apache</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This ties in quite nicely with the other thread where we were discussing pay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess you are a little bit tied in terms of confidentiality, but do you feel your targets are reasonable and what are you doing to try and achieve them?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Busy doesn&amp;#39;t always equal making loads of money if you are doing lots of low profit work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the very least you know what you need to aim for either as an individual or as a team. Really the fairest possible way of paying people is based on their performance in the business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ivc</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/175410?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Oct 2019 07:53:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:17e767a6-8320-4391-a6dc-7d194067718c</guid><dc:creator>FINNIGAN</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks guys , that’s about what we getting so far, just frustrating as we are busier now than ever and told targets not met which is a joke so still no pay rise!!!

I have found working for a larger company generally means it&amp;#39;s more professionally managed than some private practices and has proper protocols in place for work related issues, progression etc. They provide a cpd allowance of &amp;pound;500 a year I think? We also do a lot of in house training which means I&amp;#39;m easily meeting my cpd requirements. We get an extra day holiday for our birthday and also extra days depending on how long we have worked there. You&amp;#39;re entitled to 2 days off paid for cpd days. There are structured programs in place for people who want to advance their skills and lead upto head nurse/practice manager.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In terms of pay rises it is in relation to targets being met and then the clinical director/practice manager decide who should benefit from the pay pot available. The only negatives tbh are the changing lists of approved drugs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ivc</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/175400?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Oct 2019 09:22:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:c1ef8fc3-3e14-486e-8416-806662368b0e</guid><dc:creator>bumble bee</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Been IVC for four years.
