• An article (Big rise in City bankers earning more than €1m, 31 March, page 5) said that almost 3,000 City bankers “took home” more than €1m in 2014 and that 16 people at financial firms based in Britain “took home” more than €10m in 2014. To clarify: those figures are not for take-home pay but for gross remuneration, including salary, bonuses, long-term awards and pension contributions.
• The managing director of Manpower Group is Mark Cahill, not Mark Cavill as we had it in a report (Cash-in-hand workers unlikely to get rise, 1 April, page 4). That and two other articles on the same page about the introduction of the “national living wage”, a new legal minimum hourly pay rate for workers aged 25 and over, said correctly that it was set at £7.20 an hour. But a fourth piece on the same page (The hotelier: ‘I see it as an investment in our business’) gave an incorrect figure of £6.70 an hour – that is the national minimum wage which previously applied to all workers aged 21 and above, and which now applies to those aged between 21 and 24.
• The Vitra furniture campus featuring a Zaha Hadid-designed fire station is not in Switzerland as we said in an appreciation of the architect, who died on Thursday (Genius who attracted constant controversy, 1 April, page 3), but in Weil am Rhein, Germany, as we said in a report on the same page (‘Architecture has lost a star’: Zaha Hadid, visionary queen of the curve, dies at 65).
