Richmond Fellowship Vic Agreement 2006 Cmhp 3

A spokesman for the Coalition of Care and Support Providers in Scotland added: “We recognise that this is a national matter for a number of our members and not just one.” As a result, nurses are stressed and frustrated, unable to plan their lives, pay their bills or do their jobs properly. And that means that the elderly and vulnerable are not getting the service they deserve. “We have worked closely with national agencies such as the Scottish Local Authority Convention and the Scottish Government to raise awareness and find a long-term solution.” Employees work hard to make essential utility costs to some of our most vulnerable people, and they deserve decent pay and conditions, according to a union that the Richmond Fellowship Scotland, which provides services across the country, has broken the law. “We have had little contact from Unison on this matter and do not understand his testimony that we do not negotiate and that other charities are. Unison said, however, that it would take legal action to ensure that employees receive a multi-year paying allowance. The charity recently acknowledged that it had to pay the national minimum wage to employees and that this should cover sleep hours, as it stares at the eyes from April 1. The union said it was in constructive talks with many other charities in Scotland on the issue and was finding solutions that would ensure they pay the minimum wage. “Richmond employees are working hard to provide essential care to some of our most vulnerable people, and they are earning decent wages and conditions, not fighting with their employer for their legal right to repay payment for non-payment of the minimum wage. We continue to push Richmond to sit around a table to find a solution. “This is a key theme for all health care and support providers in the UK and requires a new funding model to detect these changes. Any constructive help Unison can provide to find funding solutions is welcome. “Our employees` base salary is well above the minimum wage and, when they sleep, their existing additional allowances are further increased if necessary. Deborah Dyer, Unison`s regional organiser for the third sector, said: “We are angry at the Richmond Fellowship Scotland. The refusal to pay the minimum wage to employees is a very serious matter, they have left us no choice but to initiate legal proceedings. Mike Kirby, Unison Scottish Sectary, added: “We understand the challenges charities face, but you can`t survive with a business model that doesn`t pay the minimum wage to employees.
