Yes, this is an employer. Equally, employees are also giving feedback to the employer suggesting that if they take a given job at €12 odd per hour they will lose their benefits and they know about the transition re-arrangements. There is work to be done around communication. I like the proposal about a better-off-at-work calculator, but can Ms Faughnan bring it to the Minister? It might need a widespread information campaign. It could save a good deal of money on welfare.
