It’s a good idea to meet with your senior leadership team to discuss and decide these changes. When doing so, ensure you take into account factors such as the Government’s recent budget announcement. A couple of things that may impact your decision-making processes are:
The furlough extension until September –
Increases to the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates – from 1 April 2021, the National Living Wage will apply to employees aged 23 and over (the National Minimum Wage will applies to employees who are at least school leaving age). More information can be found on gov.uk
Although it may not be something you had previously considered, it could be worth increasing your membership fees. Even a very minor increase for each member provides a lot of help covering your staffing costs – particularly after a very challenging year for grassroots clubs. Remember, too, that you are likely to be picking up additional club costs with your return – for things like PPE and new, increased cleaning requirements.
Also, think about how you will go about bringing your germany rcs data employees back to work. If it’s feasible for everyone to return on the same hours and contracts as pre-COVID-19, then that’s great. But if not, think about potentially reducing some employee hours or changing contracts slightly, and make use of the furlough scheme while it’s available. You could consider reducing all employees’ hours slightly, if that then means you can bring the whole team back on-board.
Finally, you need to take into account any changes in employee responsibilities – for example, who will be in charge of the increase in cleaning? It’s essential that you are operating in a safe environment for all employees and athletes. Therefore that could mean taking on new staff members, or shifting responsibilities among your current workforce.
