I've read this thread with interest as we are about to advertise for a Deputy Leader. I have always been open to emplying people who wish to train but frequently find they then go onto other employment that pays better or offers more hours.
As leader I negotiated a salary rather than be paid hourly so not sure how to compare my rate of pay with others. Last year the Trustees changed pay rates to include holiday pay which i have found very confusing. Their reasoning was that it made us more attractive to applicants. My feeling is it is misleading and prefer the previous method of pay.
Does anyone else have holiday pay included in rate of pay?
