TBF that's because it seems safe to not wear them outdoors - so if you're just walking down the street and there's enough space to distance, there's no need to wear it after getting out the station. Requiring them indoors would be useful, but I'm honestly surprised we haven't had a infection peak like the US from the last months reopenings. Yet to be seen what the impact of pubs opening is though, that might break it.

I think a purge would have helped us now. Instead of sitting at the top of a non functioning party of right wing saboteurs and racists for 5 years pretending they had some kind of long term plan and failing to even set up a successor... I don't know how much they coulda done but its probably more than the gently caress all we got

bessantj posted:Yes, the company costs are taken before my final pay. Any info on the pension provider? We’re you given the chance to opt out? The contributions look correct but I can’t imagine a world where it’s legal that your employers contributions are paid by the employee. I’m by no means a pensions expert but had to sort this for my staff when the government mandated we had to provide pension schemes for employees. I just can’t imagine a scenario where it can be right that they put their contribution cost onto you just cos businesses are legally oblidged to contribute... but not sure if it’s specifically illegal or just massively underhanded, however you should be able to opt out of the scheme completely if you want.

I was given a chance to opt out but I do want a pension as I'm getting on a bit and the state pension is probably going to get worse or at least not change significantly.

CareyB posted:Any info on the pension provider? We’re you given the chance to opt out? Looks like an umbrella style company of one where he pays all the company costs (PAYE/NIC/Pensions) and draws a salary from what's left over. I note the $47 holiday provision which i presume is held and paid out from accrued holiday payments. Is OP a freelancer? Cos that's the setup. If you have a regular employer that you think you are employed 100% by, and not multiple clients. If you interviewed for the position then they said 'yes it's yours, here's how we pay you', then it's not OK and you should get some legal advice, cos they appear to be doing 'one weird trick to force employer costs on your employee'. Oh, and you lose 90% of employment rights too this way. If however you are a freelancer billing at multiple hundreds per day to large business, expect to change clients at least every 6-12 months (or handle multiple income streams at once), and don't want to handle all the paperwork, then the umbrella system makes sense. You are paying for the paperwork burden and the convenience tho.

According to the papers today, the government is thinking about maybe making masks mandatory in shops. I'm not sure why now rather than, for example, three months ago, but better late than never I guess.

Ah, I'm also not an expert but have had to run a payroll, but that was all for 'proper' employees, so that could explain why it's different. There should be a paragraph or two in your employment contract with Payme that lists the deductions they're making I should imagine...

Some of the other stuff seems wild but strange things do happen. I've seen it floating around with another conspiracy theory that Wayfair is trafficking children via overpriced items, so I was a bit skeptical.
