Anyone heard about Lloyds paying their foreign reliefs £12-13ph and British reliefs about 50% more? Is it widespread/common among mulitples? Or even legal? Just curious.

Could be some bad publicity coming their way if this is true, there are lots of 2nd or 3rd generation Eastern European who sounds 'foreign' on paper.Originally Posted by neo-pharmacist

When I worked for Lds, the newly-recruited polish phcist who covered my days off was on about £11.50/hr, or half what I was earning...

So there's a breach of some sort of equality law here?

No, not really... there was no equality. The guy was in the same position as I was in, 11 years ago, when I first started working in the UK: I was pretty useless for the first 6 months, despite being fluent in English. I had no idea what "endorsing a Rx" was, or why or how; the legislation was unfamiliar, the brand names were unfamiliar, the whole process of ordering scripts with surgeries was unfamiliar...
Try & remember what you felt like in your first weeks' Pre-reg in a community pharmacy setting: That's what I felt like, despite having been a Pharmacist in Belgium for 7 years prior to moving to Wales.
I am still very grateful to the independent pharmacist/owner who took me on, for£10/hour back in 1999, and taught me all that I needed to know to "go it solo". I wasn't worth much more back then. But now that I have 11 more years' experience, I'm a bl***y bargain at£25/hour!!!

There is no 'rate for the job'. Solely dependent on supply and demand.

I agree with Neo here, although unfortunately equality of this kind isn't the law of the land.
As Arthur Daley used to say "knocking old ladies over the head and stealing their handbag is robbery, everything else is business." (Minder, ITV)

Another piece of sage advice from 'Arfur' was: "The world is your lobster".
There's always a better job out there - you just need to find it.
