Hi All

I know opinion is split about if FWs should get paid, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there a benchmark/average figure that companies do pay?

Thanks

94 views and no responses! So I thought you might be feeling lonely! I can't really help as 'we' fall into the 'we don't pay fire wardens' bracket. I wouldn't even have entered my mind that we would to be honest, but from your post I assume that some employers must do. I wouldn't even begin to guess on a benchmark figure - sorry.

I am one of 6 fire wardens in my workplace. None of us receive any extra payment for this. Although the company do pay the first aiders a £150 one off payment in December and most fire wardens are also first aiders.

We pay our FA and fire wardens a quarterly payment via payroll... it is also pro rata with regards to long term sickness absence & maternity leave etc.

No disrespect intended to Helen or her intial respondants - but this topic has been debated on almost a monthly basis with loads of responses ranging across the whole spectrum of opinion!

May I suggest that a search of the recent threads might yield the info sought?

Hello

We do not pay our fire wardens or first aiders any additional money for taking on these roles.

Have been fire warden for most of my working life in different organisations. Never received any extra payment.

Good incentive though.
