But what you are failing to mention when you say they get put on this £18k contract is the extra pay, which consists of allowance and sector pay. You are making out like they are living on the poverty line which is completely untrue.
The ones who are on the new DAC contracts who have been seconded to Morocco have said they are already seeing a significant wage increase in their pay packet due to the extra allowances. This then increases as I mentioned at 500hrs when the sector pay doubles.
