Wink Contractors conditions@ snba

The foregoing made interesting reading.

I joined as a contractor earlier this year : the working pattern I have is 7 on 4 off, travelling to and from BRU at the end of every working rotation on the first and last duty day to my chosen point on the codeshare network.. wherever I ask to go !

Standard leave is 2.5 days per calander month, which is scheduled between your 4 day off blocks .. equating to 2 weeks off every 3 months.

Pay is ok, the setup is well organised, and the social fund contributions which are paid by the agency, are refunded in a lump sum at the end of a 12 month period, whether you renew the contract or not.

I have seen far worse .. but thats a contractors view.

The agency for those interested and suitably qualified is contractair.
