We have an employee who normally works on our shop floor as an assembly operator. We have relocated him to another area to do a specific job which is in a large warehouse where there is no heating.(Due to the length of the product he is working on there is no other alternative to this arrangement). He is quite willing to do this, and we have provided him with thermal cold weather clothing. However, we feel that it would be right to offer him a daily payment to compensate him for working in unsatisfactory conditions, say for 4 months from November to February. Does anyone have any experience of this and any suggestions of what a reasonable daily rate would be.
