And for me, as I replied earlier, I have assumed that this practice has been sanctioned by the CiFA as the job was advertised on BAJR and BAJR approved the terms of the employment that was on offer.
This might come as a surprise to some folks but not everyone in archaeology is honest. David plays a pretty constant game of wack-a-mole in which companies say one set of terms then give another i.e. advertise a wage at 17k but then make it based on 40 hours when it should be for 37.5 hours. When David finds out he will ban them from future job postings but has little recourse to fix the previous problems except report them to CIfA if they are a member or RO. CIfA runs in a very similar way ... they need to know and then they can do something about it.
Are you sure that David and CIfA have approved these practices? Could it be a company that takes out 85 in pay might not be the most scrupulous in terms of morals and may not have advertised these practices in a job posting?
