This includes:
Ø Take over control of the office, introduce systems and processes to make us fast, accurate and efficient.

Your holiday dates must be agreed in advance with Cynthia Spillman. In acknowledgement of loyal and continuous service, after 2 years of continuous service with Chosen Inheritance, you will receive an extra 5 days paid holiday added to your holiday allowance, which will take you up to 25 days paid holiday per annum.
Sickness: The employers will pay statutory sick pay as stipulated by the Government at the rates stipulated by legislation.
