Thanks for responding Mick, wasn't exactly what I was expecting, thank you
for your concern in respect of the employment of our notetakers. The point
of the email was to elicit responses from others about what they do,
apparently NADO has done some work in this area, presumably everyone is
aware of this?

The rates seem very reasonable to me as an assessor. I take it that as the
contract is with you, you pay National Insurance and 4 weeks (one thirteenth
of hours worked) aqs mandatory minimum holiday pay.
What do you work out as your on-costs - 20% should be a minimum? Mick Trott

<< Here at NTU I formulated a payscale which was informed by NATED rates for
notetakers, I tied the suggested scale to APT&C scales and implemented
increments to offer fairness and to allow for movement between the scales
linked to achievement and length of service. The rate begins at £7.40 per
hour and the ceiling is at £10.80, this is for manual notetaking, where
£7.40 is paid to a graduate with no formal notetaking training and £10.80 is
paid to someone who probably has the CACDP notetaking certificate, stage 1
BSL (possibly stage 2) and various other things in between, a PG
qualification, years of experience. The exact details of people's
employment are hopefully being changed so that they may become contracted
members of staff rather than visiting. On costs have previously been
charged at a blanket rate, but it is my intention to address this also.
What I would really appreciate is some transparency here from colleagues
about what they pay, what they offer and what they charge. Any pointers to
where or how the rates were obtained from would also be extremely helpful.
I would add that we act as brokers for students and pay the notetakers each
week on presentation of a timesheet and charge the students or their LEA's
at the end of each term. The students 'contract' is with us as suppliers,
not directly with the notetakers, I would be most interested in hearing from
colleagues who operate in a similar way.
