Bonuses that get paid for high ticket numbers 3 month in arrears 5. When you finally leave YOU WILL NOT get paid on time 6. They will back charge any cost they possibly can to you 7. As a mobile you will never get the same wage everymonth 8. £45 minimum deduction for fuel they try to pass off as HMRC but its not its actually going to fuel the MD'S boat and pay his tax bill 9. £200 deduction if you make a mistake on your mileage sheet 10. No even playing field the higher managers clearly have there favourites 11. Some higher managers have huge ego's 12. Disiciplinary action handed out like confetti , ive known of a disicplinary for not litter picking a site and even for wearing your own winter hat 13. No chance of promotion unless your chummy with higher managers 14. They like to duplicate everything in regards to paperwork 15. Dont take a car always a van as a collegue left and was billed 4k from HMRC for 2 cars he drove over several years with the company and was never told the vehicle came with a tax allowence 16. 30 minute break you get deducted for whether you have time to take it or not 17.

Thanks for your comments . As someone who has worked for Excel for more than 5 years, your opinions are valued and I would encourage you to take an early opportunity to either speak to your Line Manager, or to HR in Sheffield, or to raise a formal grievance through our established procedures. You have quoted a number of Company rules, which exist in every organisation, and ours are no different in that respect. The ability to effectively control the business is important if we are to remain profitable and continue to employee people, which we have successfully managed to do for over 25 years. Not everyone is suited to our environment, it's true, but you have been here for a long time now, so I am hoping we must be doing at least some things right? Right?
