Rates are shown exactly as advertised. We don't turn them into annual salaries: hours, shift patterns and seasonal work vary too much for that to be honest.

What's missing

Plenty of shop-floor, warehouse and workshop roles are paid by the hour but don't say how much. Retail and workshop roles make up the biggest single group on the board, and most came without a figure. That's why this list is short, and why we'll keep counting.
