Whilst
I am in no way a fan of the way that anyone in our sector is underpaid
and undervalued, considering our experience, talent, dedication, level of
qualification, creativity and general superbness, the slightly tarnished silver
lining of this situation is that at least the applicant is actually being
offered some money for their work, instead of being expected to volunteer their
expertise, time, dedication, talent (see the list above) for free.
That
said, to meet the Living Wage of £7.65 would at least be a
start.
Let’s
remember our affirmations people!
Say them with me...
“My
thoughts and opinions are valuable”
“I
am a unique and special person and worthy of respect from
others.”
“I
deserve to be happy and successful”
Yours

Claire Adler spotted it
first, of course.
The range of possible
wages for zero-hours posts, generally in delivering educational workshops or
other content, is staggering. As well as the guidance being prepared on suitable
budgets for freelance contracts someone could draw up some guidelines for
acceptable levels of pay for zero-hours contracts. Or perhaps abjure their use
altogether?
