Care Staff 'Sleep-in' Rate | QCS

Hi Sheila,

I am not clear on care staff ‘sleep-in’ rate. Are they to receive NMW or other negotiated rate?

P.J.

Dear P.J,

Napthens our HR advisers did a blog on this very point for us recently. You can see the link here which I think answers your question. See link here:
