1 : How much does it cost?
Simple answer to that is; £100 per single advert.
This helps to cover the vast number of additional free services on
BAJR, from Education, Guides and a massive updated database of archaeology
to cutting edge technology which will be shared for free... We even
produce a web based radio program once a week. ...
Add to that an audience
of over 4000 people per day!! and that is surely worth it. You can
pay either by sending a cheque made payable to BAJR or British
Archaeological Jobs & Resource sent to BAJR,
Old Schoolrooms, Luggate Burn, East Lothian, EH41 4QA
BACs payments are also welcome - the BACS details
are printed on the invoice
You can also pay by PayPal or CreditCard (via PayPal).
2 : What do the Grades mean?
BAJR has decided to implement a simple system based upon duries and
responsibilities expected of an individual:
The weekly rate is based
on a calculation based on 37.5 hours work per 5 day week (with no additional
non statuatory holiday pay entitlement, pension rights or sickness
leave entitlement)
The pay bands are not meant to be expected pay levels, but
a minima below which a person cannot be paid below.
If the post does fall below this, then it cannot be advertised
on BAJR.
This also includes other posts that are within the company,
where it is expected that ALL jobs within the company fall within the
recommendations.
For Grade 1 training and Placement posts it is essential that this is discusssed with BAJR prior to advertising. - I must be satisfied that remuneration is provided and training and outcomes are well defined. These posts must not be used to cover for a potential full time member of staff and evidence may be required to show the post is one that fulfills the criteria.
GRADE: (example post)
(Required Minimum - this is a minimum level not
a pay level and it is expected that a higher remuneration is available)

3: How often do you update your pages?
AS often as I can - and with mobile technology this can mean daily.
It can be up to 3 days however as I may with to discuss an element
of the advert, such as wording or the rates.
4: Do you have any responsibility for the jobs you advertise?
BAJR does try to keep an eye on what is going on... it is quite often
like the proverbial swan with a gentle glide on the surface and a frantic
paddling beneath. I am grateful to all the companies that advertise
through BAJR for their support and help maintain the standard.
The jobs you never see are ones that pay beneath the BAJR set pay
levels or have conditions that are not in keeping with the IfA Codes
and Conducts that BAJR not only recommends as a standard, but upholds
as a supporter and Full Member of the IfA.
If you have a problem
with either a company that advertises (they are in breach of H&S
or Pay Levels or Employment Entitlements) then please get in touch
and we can try to negotiate an amicable solution.
The same is true
for a company with a problem staff member. I am only able to act if
I am informed of problems and will carry out investigations in an attempt
to find a reasonable solution.
The Diggers Forum also keeps an eye on all adverts, and reports any
potential issues.
