That sounds about right.My daughter was coming out with £160 in her hand for a 40hr week -how can anyone be expected to live on that with rent,heating, food.full Council Tax and travelling expenses to and fro work-beats me! She's been laid/paid off so she's back on the claiming benefits treadmill.Thats a F/T job in itself in fact she did say to them that some people claim for a living she's only doing it as needs must until she gets another job.
It was and is Mike -she was on the minimum hourly rate.Slave labour via an agency for the biggest Building Contractors in the UK-rip off Britain right enough but she still wants to work and not claim.
£4.00 is below the minimum wage!! I wonder how many folks on here actually work, having looked at the times of the posts today hmmmmmmmm............ I wish I could get away with posting whilst at work, or do I ??
£4 is what you come out with after paying tax and NI.She was never on any websites at work.That was her wage whether you wish to believe it or not -I saw her payslips plus I have had to subsidise her as its virtually impossible to live on the poverty line unless you are claiming benefits and have kids.
OK so anyone can earn (or have other income of) £6475 before they become eligible to pay basic rate tax, so that about £540 a month gross. That's before you add any other allowances to which you may be entitled.
