Any Grads thinking about joining ERAC..

Don't...
What a load of bull (in my opinion)..I have been offered a contract but it bears little resemblance to what I was told at the assessment/interview. On current pay scales hourly wages work out to around £5.60/5.70 per hour and I think overtime is paid at this rate as well and this is for "48-55 hrs" per week typically,not the 45 you're told at assessment day.
Promotion to Assistant Manager requires 55-60 hrs per week.

If you don't believe me go to the assessment/interviews ..wait for the postie coming up the drive. You will have chance to get your shoes/coat on to meet him as he struggles under the weight of the contract.

I sound bitter don't I...and this is less than 2 weeks from being overjoyed at being offered a position. I have been in employment and had several jobs over my career so far, but never have I seen a contract like this one..15 signatures...nice
Go on try it...

And by signing that you accept these hours you exempt yourself from the Working Time Directive.

Oh, and by the way, overtime is only paid when the manager doesn't take hours off of your timesheet. I know Area Managers that do that too...
