For example, if somebody is assigned to scholars services, they will get paid just for that. However, if they are offered and say yes to doing a private hire, they will get paid for that too. Nothing more, nothing less.
That's not strictly correct as I know someone who moved from Stagecoach to Leven Valley and although the pay was less per hour he now got paid for his breaks which he didn't with Stagecoach.
