I was on a site a couple of years ago for a charity RAO. They had just taken on a young lad, and rather than start him on trainee wages, they told him to sign on and volunteer to dig. I think this entailed the director of the unit writing off to the DSS saying that he was a volunteer-trainee. This did go on for a couple of months (as far as I recall). This lad had loads of trouble with the DSS, who couldn't understand how he was volunteering to do a job that other people were being paid for. The unit took him on after he complained the he was going to lose his dole. he's still ana rchaeologist, as far as I know.
i didn't report them to the IFA at the time because I was still a bit green. I would now.
