Posted By Susan Drake We are a multi site organisation, employing approximately 4500 people through the UK We currently have various payment schemes for first aiders as the result of a company merger and transfer of staff under TUPE and are seeking to standardise Could anyone provide an indication of what the normal payment scheme is please thanks

Posted By Pat Hannaway Hi Susan, I work in a part the Civil Service (2000 employees)where we have a mixture of "office based" employees and substantial numbers of "industrial" operatives. We do not pay / reward First Aiders at all, but have had no difficulty getting volunteers over the years. I have contacts in private organisations who tell me that the average payment in their businesses is usually £150 per year. Regards Pat

Posted By Glyn Atkinson £5 per week - weekly paid staff - equates to £260 per year which is averaged for monthly paid staff - no problems getting the 40 + level of first aiders that are required on four sites.
