It’s not the number you get paid that counts. It’s the comfort it affords that matters.If you are a part-time worker on 25 hours and £8 and hour, you get 50p an hour, whoopee do - an increase of max £12.
But if you get 10 extra hours.....
Mind you, I think we’d all be better off if we could sort productivity out. And that does need a carrot or two. I’ve seen some unreal levels of pish productivity in different sectors. Although my previous contract logistics employers seem to be resolving this by removing people from the equation with increasingly automated workplaces. Big investment, but then people aren’t cheap either.
Current sector is a weird one. You’ve a highly motivated workforce but the amount of talking about getting things done that takes place compared to things actually getting done is all sorts of unproductive.
If there was genuine innovation going on I could understand it. But nearly everything that happens is tried and tested, even if it’s new the big sector players have done the groundwork first.
