poor you matt

[Calisto]

Get a new one then :P

[Moffmo]

we used to get paid triple - now a new manager has come along and said we cant have that - so we get normal rate - and whatever we worked we can have as holiday time.

I hate my job

[Demonic Angel]

We just get paid normal rate - although working in recruitment I am lucky to get the bleedin bank holidays - we have to work all over Christmas aswell - everywhere else I have worked shuts down at Christmas!

I am thinking of looking elsewhere after I move house - there is a Toyota factory near me at Magna Park - I wonder if they have any decent paid marketing exec jobs going? :D

I doubt it though - I think its the parts factory and the last thing I wanna do is go back to being admin!

[Nizan]

im self employed, and im taking the day off so im not getting paid :D

[Storm]

I get triple for holidays but I have the feeling that internal politics is gonna change that to double soon... :(

[Storm]

But then again holidays are usually pretty quiet - as you can see my heavy workload this morning consists of read the TOC boards!

I used to have to work it but i got double pay, now i only get normal time but i get the day off. Either way i'm happy

[System~G]

Dude, least you get paid something...

If I were working they wouldn't pay us anything extra, we just get our regular salaries. And as mentioned in a previous post, we work stupidly long hours (averaging around 70 - 80 a week) with no over time paid We never get any meal consessions, taxi's or anything...

And as far as Working Time Regs go, you'll need to look very carefully into it as there are many clauses and loopholes your company can get away with <_< Initially I thought the company I am currently working for was doing illegal things, but when you look into it further, they are being legal - just unreasonable to their employers.

I am looking for another job where I can work Monday - Friday and maybe the very odd Saturday. But with my qualifications and experience, I won't find anything that will pay what I need to survive.

With regards to you using you own vehicle to do company business. Refuse.

Ditto and if you have an accident during working hours without business insurance your insurance company might start asking lots of awkward questions.

Yep... Not only that but if you do get caught out, you get done it will be classed as not having any insurance - so if you hit another car (or visa versa) you will be well out of pocket

If my place of work was open on Bank Hoilday's then I would be paid double time.

Oh they have stopped the 6mth PR (Preformance Review) so now I only get a Pay Rise every 12mth instead of every 6mth

[vmail]

With WTR it a break 45min break after 6hrs for over 18s, 2 breaks if working more than 10hrs, and cant start the next shift until 11hrs later

I think the law is a 15min break every 8hrs.

I have worked 14hr without a break.

finished work at 6AM, then started work 12PM

the comapany gets fined 5g's every time the break the WTR, but they probably fiddle with the clock card file.

[jaxx]

its actually a 15min break for every 4 hours work...

[vmail]

cant be, when was it changed

for under 18s our WTR is

a 45min break after 4.5hrs

cant work past midnight

must have a 12hr break between shifts
