Admittedly I’m a bit out of touch with what would be acceptable. I’m starting my own business and with the current economy situation I’ve had to reevaluate my outgoings. I’m going to offer a single mother on UC full time work ( reception ). I know she will want the job as I know she is desperate but I really can’t offer more at this point. I will absolutely review this in six months with a view to raise it as I think it will be ok then. She is 40 with one school age child. Plus I think she will be an asset so happy to pay more when I know we will be stable
I’m concerned that.
- she will think I’m taking the piss
- it might mess her benefits up and not be worth it for her.
I don’t know anything about being on benefits. She will be my only staff member
Any ideas will be welcomed.
