30 March 2009
Collaborative Partners should note that as from 1 April 2009 legislative changes in respect of the Working Time Regulation (holiday pay) will apply. This will affect the overall cost of temporary staff to your organisation.
This legislative change affects all workers, including temporary workers provided under the Pertemps contract.
With effect from 1 April 2009 the statutory minimum holiday entitlement is increasing from 24 days per annum to 28 days per annum, these days include Bank Holidays.
To account for this the WTR element of the charge rate will increase from 10.17% of the temporary workers' hourly rate to 12.07%.
All other elements of the charge rate remain unchanged including the commission rate which is fixed for the core period of the contract, and operates independently from the individuals pay rate.
For a revised schedule of rates applicable to the CGCoPE Temporary Staff Services Contract please contact Lynda Collin, Portfolio Support, or telephone 0131 244 8238.
