Basically, it's what we have at the moment with changes being:
- 10% contribution for Level 1 rental (currently 8% but Union had negotiated 12% so not as onerous)
- 10% contribution if in Serviced Apartments AND using Level 1 rental (doesn't apply if below RFZ)
- 25 year housing (with negotiated reversions to RFZ/Basic depending on time in scheme)
- NO end date (though can be terminated / amended with 12 months notice)
- Prorated contribution for rents between RFZ and first 10% of Level 1 rents seems to have been dropped (though by their own admission, this saves the company some money)
- NOT tied to any form of Industrial handcuffs / restrictions.
That's all I can find.
PC sent separate emails to all trainers thanking them for their service and telling them they were exempt from the 10% issue.
