I beg to differ Reveal1.
If I am looking at a new job, gross pay (basic,flight pay etc) is what I need to know. The actual figure the company will pay me. To be told you will get approximately £X after tax and social security payments makes me suspicious. There are numerous things that impact your tax code that the company would not be aware of and should not be quoting net figures for an individual. I personally would not go anywhere if they could not tell me precisely what gross figures will be paid and that is the information that has been requested on here many many times and never properly answered.
This, together with your employment status whilst in the first three years with Rishworth - self employed or not ?
