Only statutory allowances for sick and maternity pay, very low pension contribution, £28,000 a year for 37 hours. Does this sound like a good deal?

It's the lack of sick/maternity pay etc. Which concern me.

What have you had before? Have you changed industries? (Just come out of public sector?) Where does the job take you?

Hello @Addictedtofizzydrinks34 - depends on the job I guess. And your plans for family.

if you are a surgeon who wants to start a family - yes wrong job.

If receptionist of small hotel with flexible working that works for you - crack on

It's a support work type role. I'm fortunately not sick, but what if I am one day. Not currently TTC but I would like to in the next couple of years.

It completely depends on what the job is, the level of responsibility and the qualifications needed.

What was the job offer before you were sent the contract?

It was the same I just wasn't sure about the other benefits, if there were any.

Depends on the job. If those are unexpected and important to you should have asked before taking the job on.

Are you ill / trying for a baby?
