That would be fine Big Charlie
problem is, homeless people tend to want to be homeless, they are not mentally stable and think being homeless is all they're good for trust me, a lot of those homeless people do not really want a home |

You may not be on it for long - they are calling people in for medicals and signing many off it - lots who have legitimate reasons to be on it. Unless you are virtually paraplegic then it may happen to you - i'm not scaremongering - it is happening all over the country.

I know that, theres a minimum wage office in HMRC, don't tell the police, tell your local HMRC office that you're getting paid less than the minimum wage and lose their only hope of a job punter .. sure they will .. not |

maybe so mate but all it takes is for 1 of these 'decision makers' (official job title) to take a look at your case and decide you aint elligable - somebody with a broken back was told he could do a part-time sit down job and he's had to appeal - other people with advanced liver disease the same, just hope your case isn't 1 of the ones randomly picked on!

punterfleecer 12 Jan 19:27 Prima Donna, are you implying that workers from Poland can work here for less than the minimum wage legally I am saying that Polish workers get paid less than the minimum wage. Whether that is legal or not is another thing. And whether it is 'known' but overlooked is a seperate issue as well. It may be hard for you as a Civil Servant to accept but 'the rules' are there as an ideal NOT a reality in the real world. There are ways and means of manipulating the official minimum wage guideluine. Including accomation for a start. I think accommodation is the only way? yes it's different in the real world but the only way to solve that is tell the authorities Just as long as you know that the government hasn't particularly set out that the EU workers would come in cheaper, after all what does the government benefit from it since no income tax would be paid? and costing money to weed the illegals out of it? |

Oh i see so you just want people to grass their employers good enough to give them a wage up like drug dealers ?? yes and what are you on about .. lose so many staff in one go !/ ffs |
|
By:
it won't be perfect, but a lot of people will have benefited from the minimum wage unlike those who were on £2 an hour under the tories legally

Oh i see so you just want people to grass their employers good enough to give them a wage up like drug dealers ?? yes er, well as long as they're doing a job that is legal then why not? the employers are hardly drug dealers? |

Jail, but the employees are happy to live with 15 people in the same house, but they don't really know any better because they country they came from is terrible enough, living in a half decent house housing 15 people is a vast improvement! |

|
|
By:
