If an employer feels so little for an employee, who should be earning not only their own wages, wear and tear on the equipment, general running costs, their holiday pay, some of the employers wages and a little profit for re-investment, that they are unwilling to invest £88/week to get the person back to earning, they should question their morals and reasons for being business.

The employee should also question their reasons for staying.

 

Working as part of a team should be about partnership and co-operation. It shouldn't be attritional, which is toxic and ultimately unfulfilling.

 

Spending time whinging about government and taxes is a really profitable use of such a valuable and limited resource.

 

I understand there are legal and cost ramifications associated with work place and non-work place injuries. Most employees in this industry, in my experience, don't go out to injure themselves and usually feel emotions from stupidity to suicidal.

I'm sure someone will be along soon to give you a round of applause. (Coz they couldn't think of an argument themselves)

 

If it's a case of ONLY £88/week why aren't employers paying an extra £20/day on day rates?
