You're not wrong mate! Best thing I ever did after years of drudgery for pittance I am sure there will be a few that will dip their toes in, more for working pride than the lowly wage they have on offer!

Best thing I ever did after years of drudgery for pittance I am sure there will be a few that will dip their toes in, more for working pride than the lowly wage they have on offer! It does get to you when these businesses offer such a low wage for a very skilled profession, but no doubt they sleep easy at night!

What's the exception equality act all about????

I think that you'll find that they have to advertise that it meets the national minimum wage even if you were paid

Ive rang a few up looking for subbies and they said nat min wage too, on ringing it was actually not too bad, nothing amazing, but a decent enough wage if you had no work on.

best i can get on construction sites as an improver is

When the jobcentre site says national minimum it's because they don't have the exact wage details so that defaults in.
