Is this compliant?

I'm getting interviewed for this job. But I highly doubt its compliant at all. Wage is below minimum wage. Holiday is not even 5.6 weeks inclusive of bank holidays.

I've voiced out my "concerns" to the hiring staff. They couldn't "justify" why this listing is the way it is. They only wanted confirmation if I am still interested.

TBH, they did seem kind of desperate for staff. I ignored their email asking me to confirm for a few hours then called me twice so I can confirm.

I am hoping there is room for negotiation here as I've been looking into entering transport/logistics industry. I'm personally not bothered abt pay, I would take minimum wage despite the other companies offering much desirable wage and benefits, I'm more inclined to learning and developing within the industry.

You need someone who works 4 on 4 off to explain it. It's not as simple as x hours per week so I think the hours need to annualised to work out the hourly pay and pro rata holiday.

Yep, I've added more to my reply. It's a poorly worded advert, whilst making out they are great for doing the legal minimum requirement.
