AXA PPP Healthcare staff work longer for less to save jobs
Kent-based AXA PPP Healthcare staff voted in favour of longer hours and a pay cut to save 300 jobs, the BBC reports.
In June Axa balloted staff in Tunbridge Wells, offering a choice of job losses or cuts to their pay and conditions. Staff are now working half an hour extra each day and have to choose between a cut in their pay or bonuses.
Staff were also asked to pick other money-saving options, such as turning off the air-conditioning.
Since then the company has scrapped a subsidised Christmas party and free fruit on Fridays.
