@TommyRae67 @SparesCeltic You got any tickets left?

[ACEPlaceNursery&OSC @aharkinace]

With 70 valued team members on our payroll, that’s a big gap to bridge. Feels like a bigger storm than Eowyn. 😫

[ACEPlaceNursery&OSC @aharkinace]

Working on budgets today as the storm rages. Closing the gap due to changes in NI coming into effect in April is a real challenge. ‘Really hoping @scotgov and @SouthLanCouncil make appropriate adjustments to our funded rates to compensate.

[ACEPlaceNursery&OSC @aharkinace]

As a people friendly workplace, many of our staff are on part time contracts, to suit their needs. The resulting impact of NI changes coupled with the wage rises they so rightly deserve is approx £2.5k increase in employers cost per employee

[ACEPlaceNursery&OSC @aharkinace]

‘Closed our services today due to red weather warning. ‘Was nervous that we were letting parent’s down but I think this morning I can see we did the right thing. It really is whipping up a storm and I’m glad our team aren’t having to go out and and put themselves as risk. 💨⚠️

[Steve Linney @stevelinney]

I think I've just found my new alarm...

[ACEPlaceNursery&OSC @aharkinace]

👏Great news for staff working for RLW employers like ourselves. Calculators at the ready to see how we can make this work for our team at ACE Place. Eagerly awaiting news on our funded rate increase from SLC, a huge contributory factor in determining if we can make this work.

[Living Wage Scotland @LivingWageScot]

The new Living Wage rates are out!

This means thousands of workers in Scotland are set for a vital pay raise. With the cost of living crisis this is more important than ever.

@2020Together @southayrshire @StephenJFerry Wow! I have to say I’m the current climate I find this both shocking and worrying.

[ACEPlaceNursery&OSC @aharkinace]

We do so much support our staff, rewarding them for their efforts, Real Living Wage, Mum Friendly Workplace, Investors in Young People, Fair Work Policies; making a limited budget go a long way, but fear that there just isn’t any stretch left with costs rising at an alarming rate

[Lorna Kettles @EYSPolicyLorna]

It's blog time! This week I've written about the creation of a National Pay Scale within our sector, and how that would help us to thrive, not just survive. Read more here https://t.co/kTc58ck9Dd
