Personally I’m looking forward to no longer starting at my bedroom wall 5 days a week and I know a lot of colleagues feel similar. Clearly it shouldn’t be ‘everyone in 5 days a week’ but it should be up to individual employers and employees to find out what works for both parties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it must be an agreement between employer and employee but in the case of the public sector I understand that staff who travel into London from suburbia are often given ‘London weighting allowances’. Under those circumstances and if they refuse to go back to normal working then thy should lose those allowances. I can see quite a few conflicts arising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Covid restrictions in Scotland have been lifted at the "right moment", according to the first minister. Nicola Sturgeon admitted to feeling "nervousness" at the move, but said the vaccine was now giving "significant protection". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-58136277 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) The Public Sector department I used to work for paid London weighting for employees that were in London at least 40% of their working week. Clearly this was long before Covid hit and so it was purely office-based, but it's a point that will lead to contention and I can see attempts to remove it to save money unless the employee is physically present. Until just before I left, the Civil Service's attitude to working from home was arcane. Pretty much not permissible at all unless you had a very good reason, although that did relax a little bit before I left. Local management then were the issue, with inconsistent treatment applied. The two private sector employers I'm familiar with both pay it as a non-contractual benefit. One thing we do need to avoid is some nonsense concept of weighting pay based on where the employee lives.

In other words don't be touching our profits. As ever, they need binned completely before it's a permanent money grab for snakes which makes travel a total minefield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 16 minutes ago, PedroMoutinho said: “A face covering should be worn when engaging in activities such as pool or darts.” Q: Does a face covering need to be worn when singing at a karaoke? A: No. There is an exemption for performers. Performers must however maintain distance of at least 1 metre from others or a partition between performers and the audience should be installed. Why is social distancing still in place here. Thought it was gone? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Does anyone know what the guidance for live music is? My first gig is meant to be at the end of September at the O2 Academy. Will gigs be covered by the same loopholes as the dance floor at a nightclub when it comes to mask wearing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) The SG are endangering their whole public health strategy with these farcical rules for hospitality. Whether you agree or not with mandating them for supermarkets, public transport, hospitals etc, when people inevitably ignore the rules in pubs and clubs they're likely to start ignoring them elsewhere too.
