Quite right Voice... but I fear you may be talking of one of teh more enlightened Units if all these things are implemented... I know of many more that do mot provide that sort of cover... if they did... then pay and conditions would not be an issue.
I remember only too well myself trying to explain to diggers that although I charge them out at ?1xx by the time all is said and done... there is little left over.... but it is only a valid point IF and it is a big IF the Contractor is actually paying NI, holiday, equipment, footwear, toilets, portacabins etc etc (these should have been costed separately anyway... and the digger rate is just for a digger... - thats how I ran it..)
