Hello folks, not been on for quite a while since regrettably scrapping my Omega Elite :(
Anyhoo, I believe I work to a ZERO hour contract, where I have a start time (6:30 AM) and no guaranteed finish time, paid on a day rate rather than hourly rate.
Iv not been getting home on average, earlier than 7:30PM regularly. Last night for example I got home at 9PM - this has happened more times than I can count, it has sometimes got to 10PM. As you can imagine I got a bit pissed off at the hours and my now ex-boss wouldn't or just couldn't be arsed to see if I could change my hours so that I see my family.
Today I told him I quit as I have another job to start on Tuesday next week. My now ex-boss has said I need to give/work a weeks notice before I can quit, I believe I am not obliged to work any notice.
Any advice to say if I have to give/work a weeks notice.
I have been employed by them since March 1st 2018

It will be set out in black and white in your contract :y
-
Yes, it will be in your contract. Even with zero hour, there can be notice periods from both sides.

What if you phoned in sick .... ::) ::)

Might end up on a K tax code, for having 2 jobs

Have you not accrued any holidays that can be used for the notice period ?

Do zero hour contracts come with paid holiday (of 2 days per month)? ??? ???
Like sick pay, if you are on zero guaranteed hours, you will surely get sod all. ;)
As for a notice period; what is that when on zero hours? 1, 2 or 4 weeks x zero = zero! ??? ;D ;)

On a related note, presumably terms and conditions such as notice periods remain unchanged if you are TUPEd :-\

As of about 18 months ago, Yes :y
Before hand, it went straight into your wage packet :)

Ok, thanks! :y :y
In my day, when my staff where fully contracted for working specific hours, none of this zero nonsense, and when they wanted to go we let them go straight away. A resigning, possibly unhappy, disgruntled member of stall who didn't want to be there was a danger to the business and could potentially do a lot of damage. So they were paid off, they went to do what they wanted to do, and everyone / the business was happy! 8) 8) :y

Indeed, and precisely why I haven't been called in from annual leave to work my notice... Not that I have accrued enough holiday hours to have had three shifts off... But they knew that when I booked it... ::)
It will be interesting to see exactly how much I get paid having not worked a single day in June :D
The company really does care what it's employees think... Been sent a link to submit a leaver survey... Unfortunately it's a dead link, so that won't be getting done ;D
