The highest a disabled factory worker can achieve is £12,300 P.A.<BR/><BR/>The figure of £20,000 represents the cost of running the factory network divided by the number of disabled employees and includes management salaries and all costs. Unfortunately we also have to bear the cost of a top heavy, disfunctional senior management structure and Board of Directors (yet another excessive cost)who have failed us year on year.<BR/><BR/>Last year Remploy employed 220 first line Managers on average salary of £31,000 P.A, 187 Middle Managers at Remploy on average salary of £41,000 P.A & 16 Senior Managers on average salary of £63,000 P.A. Each of these roles came with a company car or allowance, a laptop computer and mobile phone. <BR/><BR/>There are only 83 Factories yet<BR/>there are 423 Managers above the disabled factory workforce of approximately 5,000. A little top heavy by any standard.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps to clarify the situation.Harry Manchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676411331328209443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-81112612912433371622007-09-11T10:43:00.000+01:002007-09-11T10:43:00.000+01:00This just doesn't make any sense to me at all Vi, ...This just doesn't make any sense to me at all Vi, and the more I try and work it out the less sense it makes!<BR/><BR/>I don't know much about Remploy but do know it's traditionally tended to employ people who are unable to work elsewhere, those with more severe learning difficulties say. I'm astonished to hear salaries are that high. Knowing parents of some adults who've worked in similar jobs to Remploy though all they've ever received is more like a token sum or demeaning type 'pocket money'. So, none of this adds up.<BR/><BR/>I personally feel this is much more to do with the Welfare Reform Act that's coming through, the govt are determined to get vast numbers of 'disabled' people off benefits and into work, except they've not considered any of the true issues other than a desire to cut the overall benefits bill.BenefitScroungingScumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939136229593231935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-9321605778255725852007-09-11T08:56:00.000+01:002007-09-11T08:56:00.000+01:00Geez, I can understand the upset of these people h...Geez, I can understand the upset of these people having to look for lower paid jobs if they are on £20,000. That's bleeding high for a factory job!<BR/><BR/>But yeah, as a tax payer, struggling to make that kind of money, this will piss a few people off.Vihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765245225983839101noreply@blogger.com
