Eer, yes, because its not rocket science.

If a Company is looking for workforce and can get it for nothing, why on earth should they pay wages? Simples.

You're right, it isn't rocket science.

Shop has a workforce of ten people and has the opportunity to take on two more member of staff unpaid... So they take them and get free labour.
Just because they've taken on two more members of staf for free, doesn't mean that they'd have taken on paid staff; the work load would just be split between the existing staff. So the free staff aren't taking any jobs, the roles were created because they didn't have to pay wages.

So why are they not taking these jobs in the first place... some of these people have no intention of working and will refuse every job because they think they are above that.

WEll I am sorry if you are claiming JSA and have bills to pay then you need to take whatever job you can get to get you back on your feet at which point you can look for something more suitable thats how I was brought up.

There are jobs available out there. Not ideal jobs for everybody but jobs all the same. People moan about the polish taking our jobs well its because the British are too lazy to work!

Sounds like someone taking the moral high ground who has probably never been out of work in the current climate - if at all.

I despair at some people on here who preach to others what they should do when they know damn well that in the same position - they would not do it themselves!

In that case, if they have to work for nothing, let them work for me. In hospitals, libraries, police stations etc. Not for Tesco.

Shop has a workforce of ten people.
Hears about the work programme and the chance of free labour, has a meeting, decides it would be more prudent to get rid of at least two or three staff (for now) and replace them with free labour.

If you think Companies will pay someone two or three hundred pounds a week when they can pay nothing then you may be in for a rude awakening.

I hope you are self employed;)

it's unlikely they're permanent staff, it'll be a 'back to work' short term incentive and no doubt comes with conditions.




I'm a contractor, so i'm the opposite to them. I get paid too much to fill in the missing workload.

Hospitals will need eCRB and the police do their own checks so i doubt they'd be able to work there without them done first.

Town halls then.

local government... dunno, do they need additional checks to make sure they're corrupt?
