Oxbeast - nail hit on head. This has been brought up before but it seems to be a more common occurrance than it perhaps was a couple of years ago - job advertised, no accommodation. How do you think they are winning them so far from 'home'? The creation of more and more regional 'offices' is simply being used as a means of winning work by not including accommodation and hoping enough short-term people in the area will be available. Alternatively, they rent somewhere at the their own expense or travel a great distance at their own expense, hasn't this been discussed ad infinitum elsewhere? Is there an echo in here? The point in this context is that will such damaging practices be covered in IfA pay minima considerations? Are they already? It's no good having a minimum pay rate unless the conditions are comparable.
Unit's point was still a good one - charities are not purely commercial organisations, so why do some of them act like Tesco and treat their staff so poorly? If there was a group of directors and shareholders waiting to cream off the profits then it might make some sense.
