    Leaflet delivery business

    Hi, yes solo is a tad more but to be honest not so much as to make any real difference as far as i can see. The key is the multiple drops. Perhaps paying more is harder but would help with the retention issue.

    Leaflet delivery business

    Yes, you are competing with the post office. Research shows (apparently from split testing) that leaflets delivered apart from the mail have a higher success rate. Something to do with people prioritise their mail over the other junk. But its getting customers to understand that !

    Sudden change of work hours

    As far as we know its not mentioned in the contract. Not the care industry, but certainly a company that does not seem to care !

    Employee investigation outcome

    Hi all, Is there a procedure that one should follow after investigating an employee when the initial investigation does not lead on to a disciplinary meeting etc ? In a nutshell, you suspend and then investigate someone but discover that they are either innocent of any offence or not guilty...

    What to do with £10k in savings

    And...........i seem to find people love to hold 'entire' coins, so if that appeals, great news is.....Ethereum. Currently sat around £1000 so you could get 10 - though id still only advise a more modest investment ! 2021 looks set to be a great year for it and it may very well out perform...

    Hi all. In a recent discipline hearing - let me state in my made up little mind and no similarity to any person(s) living or dead or companies is intended - a colleague of mine was 'charged' (probably not the right word) with using (and i quote)...."threatening and inappropriate words and...
