Your total payment under the Scheme will increase your net take home pay unless you are only paid at the National Minimum Wage rate; in which case no sacrifice of your gross pay will be made and you will continue to receive gross pay at the National Minimum Wage and will not gain any benefit from the Scheme. Any increase in your net pay will be shown on your pay slip.

Travel Scheme TRAVEL BENEFIT SCHEME EXPLAINED 1. WHAT IS THE TRAVEL BENEFIT SCHEME? The scheme is provided to certain employees engaged under a contract of employment to receive travel and subsistence payments without paying income tax and National insurance contributions on these payments. This travel and subsistence agreement is an arrangement between Taskmaster and HMRC. The travel and subsistence agreement, may entitle you to a travel and subsistence allowance to contribute to, or reimburse your travel costs (to and from your assignment) and food costs (incurred whilst on your assignment for 5 hours plus per day). These allowances are not subject to the deduction of tax and national insurance. This results in your take home pay being increased. Any increase in net pay will be shown on your wage slip. 2. WILL I BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THESE BENEFITS? The following criteria determine your eligibility to receive benefits: • You are earning above the minimum wage • You are expected to work, and are available and willing to work at different sites (i.e. beyond one postcode area) and for more than one client and do not remain at one site for more than 24 continuous months. 3. HOW DOES THE SCHEME WORK? If you qualify to be in the scheme, you agree to sacrifice some of your gross taxable pay in return for the tax/NI free travel and subsistence allowances. As your taxable pay has decreased you benefit from tax relief and NI savings on the value of the sacrifice. The level of benefit paid will be calculated in accordance with HMRC approved limits and your individual circumstances. 4. DO I HAVE TO SUBMIT RECEIPTS FOR MY TRAVEL AND FOOD COSTS? No. Claims for travel and subsistence expenses under the scheme will be payable based on the mode of transport that you inform Taskmaster you will be using to travel to the assignment and verification from yourself that you will incur subsistence expenses whilst at work. Whenever possible you will retain any receipts obtained and a record of the days on which you have incurred such expenditure and the method of transport you have used to get to your assignment. You will be expected to confirm on your weekly timesheet whether or not you have incurred daily subsistence and the method of transport used to get to work. If it is found that you have not retained sufficient records, made a false declaration on your timesheet or have told us the incorrect method of transport used then you may be subject to disciplinary action and any benefit from the payment of expenses will be reversed and deducted from your pay as an overpayment of expenses. 5. WILL BEING IN THE SCHEME AFFECT MY TAX CODE OR ANY STATE BENEFITS I MAY BE ENTITLED TO? The scheme will not affect your tax code in any way and as working and children’s tax credits are calculated on your taxable earnings any benefits that are related to your gross taxable pay such as tax credits may increase due to the decrease in your gross pay by inclusion to the agreement. 6. IF I PAY LESS NATIONAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS, WILL MY STATE PENSION BE AFFECTED? Providing your gross pay annually is above the ‘Lower Earnings Level’ (LEL) your pension will not be affected. If you are not in an occupational pension scheme the ‘earnings related’ element

Terms of Employment

of your state pension is generated on earnings above the LEL on which you pay National Insurance Contributions. This element may be affected, as you will be paying lower National Insurance Contributions. 7. WHAT ABOUT STATUTORY MATERNITY/PATERNITY PAY? The entitlement to Statutory Maternity Pay is calculated with reference to your earnings in the eight-week period up to the fifteenth week before your confinement. Any reduction of your pay in this period will result in a reduction of your entitlement. You will not be able to continue in the scheme when you start maternity leave as you will not be working at a temporary work place and therefore, will not be entitled to the Travel and subsistence allowance. The qualifying conditions for entitlement to Statutory Paternity pay are similar to those of Maternity therefore as long as your earnings in the qualifying period do not fall below the Lower Earnings Limit for National Insurance Contributions your entitlement should not be affected. 8. IF I AM RECEIVING TAX CREDITS OR OTHER BENEFITS WILL THESE BE AFFECTED? Although all individual cases differ, it is probable that your entitlement to tax credits will slightly increase whilst Statutory Sick Pay payments could slightly reduce. 9.IF I AM REPAYING A STUDENT LOAN, MAKE PAYMENTS TO THE CSA OR HAVE AN ATTACHMENT OF EARNINGS ORDER WILL THIS BE AFFECTED? Individual cases vary widely concerning Attachment of Earnings and CSA repayments, as a guide, these payments are calculated from your net pay so it is probable that as your net pay increases your repayments also will increase. Student loan re payments only start when the gross amount earned exceeds £288 per week. As the travel and subsistence scheme lowers your gross pay it is possible that your repayment may be lowered. 10. I AM NEARING OR ARE AT RETIREMENT AGE. CAN I BENEFIT FROM THE SCHEME? If you are nearing or at retirement age this may have an effect on your pension. Consequently you may wish to consider whether you want to participate in the scheme. 11. I AM A STUDENT – CAN I JOIN THE SCHEME? As a student, you don’t pay tax and national insurance, and therefore will not benefit from the scheme. If however, circumstances mean you do pay tax and national insurance, you will be eligible to join. 10. CAN I OPT OUT OF THE SCHEME? You will automatically be enrolled in the scheme, subject to meeting the HMRC eligibility criteria. However, should you wish to opt out, you may do so at any time during the first four weeks of your employment. After this period there will be a further opportunity to opt in or out of the scheme after 10 months of continuous employment. Thereafter, you agree to remain in the scheme for a renewable period of 12 months or until your employment with the company terminates. Similarly, if you wish to opt back into the scheme you must wait 12 months from the time you decided to opt out.

Manual Handling Techniques 1. STOP & THINK Plan the lift. Where is the load to be placed? Use appropriate handling aids if possible. Do you need help with the load? Remove obstructions such as discarded wrapping materials. For a long lift, such as floor to shoulder height, consider resting the load mid-way on a table or bench in order to change grip. 2. POSITION THE FEET Feet apart, giving a balanced and stable base for lifting (tight skirts and unsuitable footwear make this difficult). Leading leg as far forward as is comfortable. 3. ADOPT A GOOD POSTURE When lifting from a low level, bend the knees, but do not kneel or overflex the knees. Keep the back straight (tucking in the chin helps). Lean forward a little over the load if necessary to get a good grip. Keep the shoulders level and facing the same direction as the hips. 4. GET A FIRM GRIP Try to keep the arms within the boundary formed by the legs. The best position and type of grip depends on the circumstances and individual preference; but it must be secure. A hook grip is less tiring than keeping the fingers straight. If you need to vary the grip as the lift proceeds, do it as smoothly as possible. 5. KEEP CLOSE TO THE LOAD Keep the load close to the trunk for as long as possible. Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the trunk. If a close approach to the load is not possible, slide it towards you before trying to lift. 6. DON’T JERK Lift smoothly, keeping control of the head. 7. MOVING THE FEET Don’t twist the trunk when moving to the side. 8. PUT DOWN, THEN ADJUST If precise positioning of the load is necessary, put it down first, then slide it into the desired position.
