Are we entitled to pay?

[barb1314]

The pub I work in part time is currently being refurbished and obviously there is no work. I was wondering if legally we are entitled to any pay (be it holiday pay or normal pay) Does anyone know?

Thanks

Have you worked there less than a year? If so they could simply dismiss you and then reoffer the job when they want someone again.
What does your contract say?
What notic eperiod are you on- they could give notice and reduce your hours
Buildersmate is the best for advice on these things

Thanks to you all for replying. I don't have a contract! (which I know is illegal too) I am not so worried about myself,not that I don't need the money,but wanted to ask on behalf of the full timers.I have 2 other jobs so at least have some money coming in. I think some have contracts and some don't.Will look more at the link that Chris supplied.Thanks again.We are back to work this week and are paid a week in hand,so I'll see what happens on Friday.
