We employ seasonal staff who work for approx 5-6 months. At the beginning of this season the senior staff are rqeuired to go through our training. In the past we have not paid these staff until they start their actual contract, which is the day after they finish this training or induction period. We have however paid a small training allowance of approx £10 per day for these 5 days.
Can anyone tell me if training allowances like this actually exist and if so is there a minimum we have to pay our staff?
