Lady Star Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 'Reasonable requests' covers changes such as extra days trading - it does when they offer you an alternative day off anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickw33 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 if you dont want to work it then dont unless its in your contract if its not in there then just tell them you cant get child care for weekends they will have to renew all contract so it states that you have to work them. if your already doing 40 hours a week plus 12 overtime when do you see your kids ???? how many does your manager do ??? bet its not what your doing !!! DO NOT GET BULLIED INTO DOING IT SPEAK TO THE CITIZEN ADVISE BUREAU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoroughGal Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 you im sure that by law you have have a right to leave 12 hours between shifts. Working Time Directive (European Legislation), I believe, and it's 11 hours in between shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Working Time Directive (European Legislation), I believe, and it's 11 hours in between shifts. And 48 hours maximum in a week, with certain exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbox Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 When I worked in an office a couple of years ago, we were told that if the overtime was required we were expected to do it but NOT GET PAID FOR IT (sorry for shouting). Their reply was always "Think yourself lucky you've still got a job". It's blackmail. Beware the words "reasonable amount of overtime" in job contracts - what's classed as "reasonable"?
