Taking a pay cut...

[Kompany Car]

Using Listen to the Taxman website the net monthly different between £50k and £42k is £500.

The one question I have, is it really an 8am-4pm job? No optional overtime, will you be working outside of these hours for free? I know plenty of people doing 9-5s and getting paid for those hours, but actually doing a lot more hours with no pay. Sounds like your current job you get paid for the hours you work.

I would suggest that anyone doing that on even a moderately regular basis should talk to their line manager and not keep silent. If their line manager does nothing talk to the next person up the tree.

It’s poor line management like this which normally leads to an increase in sickness and staff turnover. Stressed and disgruntled employees are also less productive. Recruitment costs are very expensive so keeping your staff content is of upmost importance. As a minimum they should get time off in lieu for extra hours worked.

Any job should be thought of as hourly rate vs (stress/hassle factor). The only contracts I know where they say you work the hours to do the job are those for director level roles and if you take one of those it needs to be accompanied with a six figure salary and big performance related bonuses.

Nobody on their deathbed ever said I wish I had spent more time at work. Many say I wish I spent more time with my children when they were young.

(There are books and studies on this, I don't go round interviewing people on their deathbed)

Yer can go back 'n get the money, but yer can't go back and get the time.

It’s standard practice in a lot of industries though.

Well done that man. Far too many so called sensible ideas on this thread. The OP will have every Saturday off, only to be dragged round Sainsburys, DFS and the Trafford Centre by his missus, running his daughter to swimming and brownies and her mates and Makky bleedin' D's. Oh and dont forget you said you'd wash the car/dog/garden and my mum needs picking up.
Bollocks to that.

I already do all that as well as working 15-20 hours OT most weeks lol
