That's bad news mate, sorry to hear that :(............no idea where you lost your wallet, or was it maybe pickpocketed?
-
well according to the police theres been a lot in uxbridge lately, the thing is though ive no photo id so cant even go into bank to get any money now. ive got to go down there with a list of cards in it, probably be cloned now, but 10 mins after i had a witheld number ring me and not say anything, can the police have this call tracked??

Not sure if they could track it, possible or maybe via the phone company. Not sure whether the Police would go to all that effort though?

I sympathize with you matey, it can't be nice to be robbed in that way.
It's not been your best time as of late, you've not been sleeping & now this :( :(
At least you still have your job :y :y
-
sorry to hear about your crappy time at the moment geezer, at least you didnt loose your wallet, cancel all your credit cards etc only to remember you gave it to your missus in a rush who later had a face of thunder when she got home cos all the cards she tried to use were cancelled. DOH ! ;)

Do you have a house hold insurance policy?
If you do, check what it covers as you may be able to claim (less excess) for the lost cash etc

If you were feeling really down, within reason, that is actually a legitimate reason to not be able to attend work and if your employer values you, they won't penalise you for that at all.

iirc the working time regulations state that if you work 7 days one week you can only do 5 days the following week.also you should have an 11 hour break between shifts.

its not as simple as that when your self employed and working from an agency, i had a go once before about the hs i was doing at heathrow, did a ghoster(24 hr shift) 1 night and then back in 5 hrs later. i was laid off 2 days later and they got someone else.

Agencies are no longer exempt from the working time directive! They must comply with the law. If they don't you can take them to a tribunal. Having said that... I know the position you are in and sympathise!

Boy your having it rough m8 do sympathise really do, just got to believe your luck will change & it will come good pretty soon, try not to get too down ...Maybe you need to try some other profession get out from the agency thing (obviously dont know what you actually do for a living) as there are agencies for every type of job these days, i know they pay more but often the benefits of working for a company , pensions ,hols etc even it up well it did in my job HGV there was often a guy leaving the agency to join our firm, just a thought !

Yes but, the individual can still opt out.....so check the contracts you have signed!

I was under the impression (when I was running an agency for drivers 4 years ago) that the opt out clause was no longer a legal option!
Just my thoughts and I don't know whether I'm right or not... :-/ :-/ :-/

Yes, when I worked for previous employer, I had was encouraged to sign a form to opt out.

you can opt out of the 48 hr. week but i dont think you can opt out of the 11 hour break or weekend rule. :-/

the last time i had holiday pay and sick pay was 1983 when i became self employed. ive thought about other jobs but i cant find any i can do that pay as much as i get now. i shall probably pack up construction work when im 50, will not have to pay x any money then as kids will be left school so wont have as much to pay out. as i havent had a proper holiday in 15 yrs i will have a good few then :) :) :), only 3 yrs to go ::) ::)

i think constructionis going to be pretty dead for a while anyway rich,it has had its boom and is now going bust by the look of it.the company i worked in for the last 20 years makes prestressed concrete floors and has had a long period of being awash with money,in the last year it has ended up on its knees (and i have ended up jobless)
it may be worth looking into some kind of re-training in the not to distant. especially if you could re-train to do something that you enjoy doing. i have been thinking along those lines myself,but it is easier said than done.
