Racing staff are to be paid for time worked away from the yard outside of normal hours at the following rates: £12.21 for all racing staff regardless of age.
7.2
Time away from the yard within the normal daily working hours is paid at the normal rate of pay.
7.3
These payments are liable for PAYE and National Insurance deductions and should be put through the payroll.
7.4
If locally adopted rates are used then the hourly rate paid must meet or exceed the hourly rate set out in this agreement. It is accepted that employees of yards close to racecourses are unlikely to incur meal expenses when racing at their local course and as such the daily subsistence allowance will not apply to such employees. This is likely to mainly apply to Newmarket staff with runners at Newmarket and Epsom staff with runners at Epsom.
