I spent some time in discussion over this one with HFA
including discussions about rates of pay and remunerations.
The trouble comes with this sudden contract .. (note the closing date) which has gone from 0-60 in a very short time. the HR department would require time to place people - hence the 'casual' nature' and also the real fact that they would want to pay people monthly, hence - Start work half way through June... no payment til end of August .............. this is a way of subverting that obviously unmanageable situation. The 3 months work - you could if you wish take holidays during that time... however at this time - I would take the money.
this was on the edge of what could be seen as acceptable, but long discussions allowed explanations to be made, suggestions offered and a suitable rate offered.
I have made an error in the G levels - the pay is at G3-4 the requirement for ability is G2-3
I understand peopels concerns, I too had them, and after calculations the actual final cash in the wallet payment meets the basic minimum. Otherwise I would not have run it.
I hope that goes at least part way to explain.
