Is that the going rate for a Senior Techie in UK?

[SimpleSi]

Its towards the lower end

And without starting any sort of pay war off and with good humour - I wouldn't fancy a job as a Junior Tech there

Forum rules; don't talk about pay in a job thread... it can get lost in the spam! blah blah

 

Agree with Si though... poor junior tech

[featured_spectre]

whats the reasoning behind the saying you wouldn't want to work there?

[featured_spectre]

Mind you looking at the job spec and person spec, they want a network manager not a senior ICT assistant!

 

*edit*

 

If they paid £6000 more per year it would be worth my while applying, but on that pay advertised I would be paying well over half the monthly wage just to get there!

Morning all,

 

I've worked at The Warwick for just under 7 years, I'm now moving on to bigger and better and they've had a shuffle around of jobs.

I have to say that working at The Warwick is a great experience and I would reccomend applying to anyone. The staff are very friendly and sociable and it is a great place to work. Deciding to leave was a very hard decision to make.

 

I admit the money isn't great but in this climate surely it's worth applying to gain experience alone?

I've spoken with the ICT Manager about the post and he says that it's more an experienced ICT Assistant (2 years experience) that he is looking for which explains the payscale.

 

If you have any questions about the school etc please feel free to pm me and I'll do my best to assist.

 

Regards

Dan

Holiday - 24 days increasing to 28 days after 5 years continuous service

 

iS THAT EVEN LEGAL ????

 

The basics of holiday rights

There is a minimum right to paid holiday, but your employer may offer more than this. The main things you should know about holiday rights are that:

you are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks paid annual leave - 28 days for someone working five days a week (capped at a statutory maximum of 28 days for all working patterns)

part-time workers are entitled to the same level of holiday pro rata (so 5.6 times your usual working week, eg 22.4 days for someone working four days a week)

you start building up holiday as soon as you start work

your employer can control when you take your holiday

you get paid your normal pay for your holiday

when you finish a job, you get paid for any holiday you have not taken

bank and public holidays can be included in your minimum entitlement

you continue to be entitled to your holiday leave throughout your ordinary and additional maternity leave and paternity and adoption leave

Yes as long as they pay you for public holidays

You do not have a statutory right to paid leave on bank and public holidays. If your employer gives paid leave on a bank or public holiday, this can count towards your minimum holiday entitlement. There are eight permanent bank and public holidays in England and Wales (nine in Scotland and ten in Northern Ireland).

It probably is, those 28 days can also include bank holidays, so whilst the job may only be 24 days, if they get public holidays in addition then that's all above board.
