Skanska to lend staff cash

Contractor links-up with finance firm to offer affordable loans to employees

" Skanska’s recent investment of £1m in cost-of-living support with one-off payments of £750 to around 1,300 employees. "

used to do it for my blokes if they needed to buy a vehicle or similar .. lend 'em the money and slowly recover it .... but as a broad-spectrum scheme I 'spose it'll stop 'em looking for rises for a while

Same for kiers and I'm sure ameys and Balfour are the same.
However they do actually look after staff to be fair. Until they go bankrupt and take your pension pot with them.
Alsorts of incentives bonuses prize draws. To the point if you work for kiers there is some sort system that they will finance you to go out on your own as a subby and give you loads of work in return for a % of the business.
In return some of the jobs are pretty laid back, they have made it perfectly acceptable to not do anything in the name of health and safety

£1000 one off annual payment is about 50p an hour bonus. Not as much as people think
