FAQ: What are Locum Form A and Locum Form B?
All GP locums enrolled in the NHS Pension scheme need to file Form A and Form B paperwork to pay into their pensions.
Locum Form A
GPs file Form A at the same time that they invoice a practice for work. The form, produced by NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA), includes information about the locum and the practice.
Locum Form B
After completing a month’s work and the related paperwork, you then file Form B. This form specifies exactly how much you need to pay for that month’s pension contribution, and it works on a calendar month basis.
"I have tried a few different platforms but nothing compares to the comfort and practicality of LocumDeck. The NASGP support team is absolutely wonderful and they walked me through the initial set-up. Once the set-up is complete, the booking process is so easy and literally happens with the click of a button. I also love the paperless pension form submissions through LocumDeck and it takes me no more than two minutes each month to send all the necessary pension forms to PCSE. I have already recommended LocumDeck to all my colleagues and it is a must-have for anyone thinking about entering the GP locum world. I wish every practice in the country would sign up."
