DPD Temporary Workers Allegedly Denied Sick Pay and Pensions
Internal documents suggest that temporary workers at DPD, a leading UK courier company, may have been denied entitlements to sick pay and pension contributions. The documents reveal that these payments, typically included in the 'charge rate' paid by brands to recruitment companies, are missing from spreadsheets detailing the cost of employing temporary staff. This absence raises concerns that workers may not have received their statutory entitlements or were moved on before pension contributions became due. DPD has stated that its commercial arrangements allow agencies to fulfill their statutory obligations, and it is committed to ensuring compliance with employment legislation.
