General Discussion Area / 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
