Zero hour contracts
« on: 23 June 2018, 23:53:53 »

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

Yes, it will be in your contract. Even with zero hour, there can be notice periods from both sides.

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 :-\

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
