Hedge cutting Operative

In the world of industrial recruitment, few things are as frustrating as unclear pricing. If you&rsquo;ve ever looked at your rate calculations and thought, &ldquo;how does this add up?&rdquo;, you&rsquo;re not alone. We don&rsquo;t think transparent pricing should just be a box to tick &ndash; it&rsquo;s the foundation for building trust and making sure your business gets the value it deserves.
<h3>Money talks &ndash; but is yours saying what you think it is?</h3>
Let&rsquo;s face it, if your current supplier can&rsquo;t explain exactly how their rates are calculated, that&rsquo;s a red flag. Hidden costs, vague explanations, and unexpected surcharges can leave you questioning if your spend is working hard &ndash; or hardly working.
Clarity isn&rsquo;t just a nice-to-have; it&rsquo;s non-negotiable for making informed decisions and maintaining control over your spend. Without transparency, it&rsquo;s impossible to see whether the rates you&rsquo;re paying align with the value you&rsquo;re getting - or if you&rsquo;re funding inefficiencies that could have been avoided.
<h3>Margins that look too good to be true (which means they probably are)</h3>
A low margin might look good on paper, but it often hides overcharges in other areas. Are you paying more for overtime or holiday pay than you should? Is your supplier&rsquo;s markup quietly creeping into costs labelled as &lsquo;extras&rsquo;? &nbsp;Because, if it feels too good to be true, it probably is.
And here&rsquo;s the real risk: some providers offering suspiciously cheap rates are using <a style="color: #242c52;" href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/umbrella-companies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">umbrella schemes</a> to drive down costs. These schemes are now under increased government scrutiny, and for the first time, liability could be traced back to your business directly &ndash; just as we saw with IR35.
With upcoming regulatory changes, the days of outsourcing risk through questionable supply chains are coming to an end. If your provider&rsquo;s rates seem unusually low, it&rsquo;s worth asking why &ndash; before your business finds itself caught up in compliance risks it never signed up for.
<h3>Transparent pricing done right</h3>
Pricing shouldn&rsquo;t be a guessing game. We keep it simple, competitive, and - most importantly - clear, using the Association of Labour Provider&rsquo;s (ALP) transparent charge rate guidance as the foundation for how we structure our rates. It&rsquo;s not just industry best practice - it&rsquo;s how we make sure every client knows exactly where their money is going. And this year, another cost factor is at play: the Employer&rsquo;s National Insurance (NI) thresholds and contributions are shifting, bringing significant cost implications. If your supplier is offering reduced rates despite these increased costs, it&rsquo;s worth questioning how they&rsquo;re making up the difference. We help businesses navigate these changes with accurate, transparent rate calculations, ensuring full compliance and financial clarity.
<h4>Here&rsquo;s what that means for you:</h4>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; color: #242c52;">All our costs are broken down so nothing&rsquo;s hidden in the &lsquo;fine print&rsquo; (we&nbsp;know you&rsquo;re heard that before).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; color: #242c52;">&nbsp;No sneaky fees creeping in to eat away at your margins.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; color: #242c52;">A fair, industry-backed structure that keeps everything above board.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Let&rsquo;s get transparent together</h3>
We&rsquo;re taking our commitment to transparency a step further this March with our ALP rate reviews. Whether you&rsquo;re already working with us or considering making the switch, these reviews are designed to ensure you&rsquo;re getting maximum value from your<a style="color: #242c52;" href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/best-price-vs-best-value-blog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> recruitment spend.</a>

The power of transparent pricing in recruitment

With January almost behind us (which puts it firmly on the &lsquo;out&rsquo; list), it&rsquo;s time to focus on what&rsquo;s&nbsp;in&nbsp;for the year ahead. No fads here - just the latest updates from the employment, manufacturing, warehousing, FMCG, and waste management sectors, neatly packaged for your convenience.
So, grab a brew, take five, and let&rsquo;s get stuck in.
<h3>In Employment...</h3>
2025 is shaping up to be an eventful year for employment law, with some big changes on the horizon. We&rsquo;ve already covered the Employment Rights Bill, introduced to Parliament last year, but as with most new legislation, it can take a while before any reforms take effect. Still, it&rsquo;s set to shake things up with changes such as "day one" unfair dismissal rights, limits on zero-hour contracts, expanded statutory sick pay eligibility, and tighter rules on "fire and rehire" practices - though most of these won&rsquo;t kick in until 2026. Flexible working is also getting a glow-up, with employers needing solid reasons to refuse requests. Meanwhile, pay gap reporting will soon include ethnicity and disability, and we&rsquo;re waiting to hear more about the long-awaited Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023. So, lots to watch, but don&rsquo;t worry - we&rsquo;ll keep you in the loop as it all unfolds!
<h3>Latest Employment Data...</h3>
This month's labour market figures show a combination of positive and challenging trends. Estimates for payrolled employees in the UK decreased by 32,000 (0.1%) between October and November 2024 but rose by 95,000 (0.3%) between November 2023 and November 2024. The early estimate for December 2024 shows a further decrease of 47,000 on the month, bringing the total to 30.3 million; this figure is provisional and may be revised.
The UK employment rate for people aged 16 to 64 years was estimated at 74.8% in September to November 2024, largely unchanged from a year ago but slightly lower than the previous quarter. The unemployment rate for those aged 16 years and over was 4.4% during the same period, higher than a year earlier and up from the previous quarter.
Economic inactivity among people aged 16 to 64 years decreased to 21.6%, reflecting improved labour market participation. However, job vacancies continued to decline, falling by 24,000 to 812,000 for the three months ending in December 2024. This marks the 30th consecutive period of decline, although vacancies remain above pre-pandemic levels.
Wage growth remained solid, with annual increases of 5.6% for both regular and total pay in the three months to November 2024. When adjusted for inflation, real-terms growth stood at 3.4%. In November, 42,000 working days were lost to labour disputes, primarily in the education and transport sectors. The Claimant Count for November 2024 rose to 1.769 million, influenced by changes to work search requirements.

<h3>In FMCG...</h3>
First, some heartwarming news from the sector. Wall&rsquo;s Pastry is putting its money where its mouth is to help tackle food poverty in the UK. For every pack of 10x55g sausage rolls sold, they&rsquo;re donating 5p to Action Against Hunger, a charity fighting hunger in areas that need it most. Off the back of a bumper year with sales up 40%, Wall&rsquo;s is encouraging everyone to &ldquo;Grab a Wall&rsquo;s&rdquo; and turn a tasty treat into a small but mighty way to make a difference.

Sunderland is set to become home to JATCO&rsquo;s first European plant, thanks to a &pound;50m investment deal with Nissan and the government. The site will create 183 high-value jobs and support over 400 more in the supply chain, producing electric vehicle powertrains for Nissan&rsquo;s Sunderland plant. From 2026, JATCO aims to manufacture 340,000 units a year, reinforcing the UK&rsquo;s position as a leader in electric vehicle (EV) production. Backed by the Advanced Propulsion Centre, this investment strengthens the North East&rsquo;s growing manufacturing hub and highlights the UK&rsquo;s push for a competitive EV supply chain.

New rights, new rules: how 2025 is set to change up the workplace

Ah, the festive season. Twinkling lights, the thrill of hunting for the perfect gift, and the charm of Christmas markets (think sipping overpriced mulled wine whilst trying not to wince at the price of a bratwurst in a bun). Whilst it might be an exciting time for customers, for businesses, it&rsquo;s crunch time. Missing targets or delaying deliveries can quickly turn joy into frustration.
&nbsp;
Did under-fulfilment impact your peak delivery?
We see it every year without fail: high seasonal demand but not enough hands to meet it. Under-fulfilment doesn&rsquo;t just slow production lines and leave shelves empty; it hurts businesses&rsquo; reputations, strains customer relationships, and adds costs for overtime or last-minute fixes.
&nbsp;
If you were under similar stress during the most recent peak period, now&rsquo;s the time to ask, what went wrong? And, perhaps more importantly - how can it be avoided this year?
&nbsp;
We believe the secret to a successful peak lies in smart planning, innovative solutions, and a recruitment partner who just gets it.
&nbsp;
The importance of advance peak planning
The most successful operations don&rsquo;t leave peak season to chance. Planning ahead allows you to:
&nbsp;
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Assess the scale of your temporary workforce needs.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Build lead time into recruitment to attract the best candidates.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Avoid last minute panic which eats into productivity.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Without adequate preparation, businesses face missed opportunities or costly missteps. Advance planning gives you the breathing room to focus on what matters - delivering results for your customers and partners on time.
&nbsp;
What if you don&rsquo;t have forecast data?
Peak performance depends on solid forecasting, but we understand that not all businesses have clear data to rely on. Maybe the numbers are a bit murky, or demand is - let&rsquo;s face it - unpredictable. That&rsquo;s where we come in.
&nbsp;
Our approach combines experience with real-time insight into hiring trends. We work with you to estimate requirements based on industry patterns, similar campaigns, and location-specific data. No forecasts? No problem.
&nbsp;
Contingencies are key
Even the best-laid plans can hit a curveball; a sudden shortage of candidates, sourcing challenges in key locations, or demand surges which exceed projections.
&nbsp;
Our heat map, created using Microsoft Power BI, visualises how we help. By analysing real-time data, we can identify recruitment hotspots and potential bottlenecks. If recruitment proves tough in one area, we pivot - pulling talent from alternative locations. It&rsquo;s about staying agile, so your workforce is ready, no matter the challenges.
&nbsp;
Seasonal peaks don&rsquo;t have to be stressful. With proactive planning, solid forecasting, and smart recruitment strategies, you can turn chaos into consistency. Want to get ahead of the game for this year&rsquo;s peak? Let&rsquo;s talk now - because next December starts today.
