Thanks for that, I did indeed enter into a long negotiation before the advert appeared (the good old paddling duck feet that nobody knows about) but in fact they are providing "paid lunch" which is fine.
I do keep an eye out.... though sometimes I am caught out..... but of course all that anyone ever sees are the final adverts .... not the emails and phone calls and deals that happen behind the scenes.
so in 'real' terms they are actually paying for a 37.5 hour WORKING week....
so are paying above the minimum.
I have been talking with the IFA and we agree that we have to clarify who is paying what and when... etc
initial comment from the IFA:
Another day another WSI?

Quote:quote:the 37.5 hours is exclusive of lunch breaks. Where the standard week exceeds 37.5 hours, as from 1 April 2007, RAOs will be expected to provide a salary enhancement to reflect this. As yet, we do not have the 2007/8 salary figures, but, based on the current salary figures, that enhancement would, at a PIFA level, be circa. ?374.49 pa (pro rata) for every hour over and above 37.5 - excluding lunches - Clear as mud ?
Another day another WSI?
