paulears Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 have a look here Describe the job as a chance to learn and make it all official and above board. Still stinks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry davies Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Reported to HMRC for tax and NI evasion. You know it makes sense, so do it. Our core business is the creation, management and delivery of projects/products with a threefold mission: educate, entertain & inspire. My arse! Their core business is ripping people off so they can afford to live in Epsom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Some Bloke Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's OK, though, because they have agreed to abide by the National Minimum Wage (which says that if ou're paying you have to pay at least the NMW but that if you're not paying then you can get away with it). Also, why does alighting technician need to supply a photo? ("We can't have that one, she doesn't look at all like a stage manager"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Am I imagining things or does the "training" exemption for the NMW not specify that it can only be used when the trainee is receiving actual training under supervision, i.e. unsupervised "experience" is payable?

kerry davies Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Volunteers get NMW if the "contract of employment" adds up to an employment or workers contract. This looks like it does as there will be set hours and duties. Voluntary workers "must have an employment contract or contract to perform work or provide services for a charity, voluntary organisation, associated fund raising body or statutory body." PLC's like this one do not count. Work experience and internships both can and do qualify for NMW dependent upon the precise nature of them. There is no "training" exemption per se, apprentices get paid badly but paid, and even if there were this advert would not comply with either unpaid work experience or internship. The roles they stipulate are "workers" positions which, were they filled otherwise, would be subject to terms of employment and wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has to be part of a recognised course as well (although I can't find the section of the act governing that at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
