Staff breakdown;

I’ve calculated 4 people at:

12 hours per day Mon-Sat  &

7.5 hours Sunday

(9.30 – 20.30 Mon- Sat is 11 hours of total time – but as we’ll need to do our own prep prior to arrivals – additional equipment, stock etc – 30 mins solo – also there’s a handover period when staff start the 2nd shift of 30 mins so 12 hours overall; Sun same principle so 11.00 – 18.30)

There are 33 days in total (including 4 Sundays)

So with 4 people on shift through the whole period at £13.50 per hour (just including tax/nic we have to pay also so £13.50 + £1) = it is:

29 days x 12 hours per day x 4 people x £14.50 per hour = £20,184

4 (sun) days x 7.5 hours per day x 4 people x £14.50 per hour = £1,740

Total = £21,924
