Should I Start Looking For A New Job?

[abbeylee90]

Basically my hours have been cut in selco to 24 hours for 4 weeks as I am not grasping the products with it becoming summer it is getting busy and they can't have another cashier with me so if I don't grasp within 4 weeks won't be able to have me as a cashier. I am very upset as I enjoy it.

[abbeylee90]

Don't know how I'll tell my mum 😫

[scorpiojo]

What?

[scorpiojo]

Are you working 10 hours or 27 hours next week?

[naomi24]

Abbey, what are you talking about?

[abbeylee90]

27 next week 10 week after 

[naomi24]

Why?

[abbeylee90]

They said there's a ban on overtime and haven't got the budget

[naomi24]

Your hours aren't overtime though.  You went there as full time staff.

[naomi24]

Abbey, did you ask for time off?

[abbeylee90]

There where I started yes and no.

They didn't do my contract.

[carucoocoo]

Are you on a Zero hours contract ?

[naomi24]

Abbey, your probation period isn't up yet, is it?  Only recently you said they'd told you to learn more about the job. They won't give you a contract until they're satisfied with your work.
 

I don't understand whether or not you asked for time off to get your hair done.

Good afternoon Abbeylee90,

"It is a legal requirement in the UK for employer's to provide a written statement of the terms of employment to the employee, within the first 2 months of the employment commencing. Although this is not a contract of employment it summarises the essential key terms of employment".

If you are only working 10 hours in one week there is plenty of time to fit in a hair apointment

DDIL, that quote is from an Anguilla website.

This is the relevant advice from ACAS.

You just tell your mum, make a cip of tea sit her down and tell her the truth.

[abbeylee90]

I am working on the Saturday day after my hair so still 5 days either hope someone will leave or they get a higher budget for over time. My probation is nearly up 

[naomi24]

Abbey, if you're working Saturday instead of your normal day does that mean you did ask for the time off?

[abbeylee90]

Yes as they said I'd have to work Saturday if I had thr Friday off

[abbeylee90]

After my 2 weeks trial I had they said they would give me a full time contract.
