BAJR does indeed .. and the nice folk phoned up to see if this was fine... the reason is that as a council unit, they are still stuck at last years wages (so to speak) until the pay deal is sorted... if it is as suspected a 2.5% rise this takes it well over the minimum... and ... this is backdated to any staff from April 2007 onwards... so you have to see it as 'money in the bank' even if you do 4 week and then leave... when the day deal is agreed.. then you will get sent the money you are owed.
Hope that clears tha one up..
As to G2 staff and G3 staff... this is a problem that wil be dealt with in the Benchmarking.. (happening right now) where skills and training counts for progression... of course at the moment it is difficult for companies to know about a staff member until they have worked with them for a while... but when the BAJR concept Skills passport comes in... then staff will be able to 'transfer' skills and abilities from palce to place... and you get what you pay for... if you need more expereinced diggers... then you will have physical proof that you have them.. in the form of the skills passport... Every company should have some form of probationry period with a set number of months before promotion/wage rise... otherwise a 5 year digger could be getting the same as a 1 month newbie...
So hopefully so...
