There has been a basic difficulty with pay and conditions in archaeology for 30 years - the link with local authority pay scale.
Yeah this is very true but the local authority pay scales (for archaeologists at least) are being regraded upwards very rapidly with single status and are now (at least in some cases) well above the private sector (plus local authorities have better terms and conditions of employment). Look at the recent job adverts by Bedford and ASWYAS (plus the East Lothian HER/SMR) and they're still able to compete for work. The IFA/BAJR are already behind the times.
Going back to my previous post what is the legal difference between being paid in lieu and rolled up holiday (if rolled up holiday is illegal as stated)? I think this needs to be better defined.
