few work related stress issue for you...
in april i tupe over to a new firm who has taken over the contract... (been there 3 years)
smelt a rat from the start and soon things have started to change, 1st holiday allocation, then holiday notification, we used to have to notify work a week in advance for a day off or a month for a week or more... now it 2 weeks notice for a day and 4 weeks for week or more...
those of us doing 5 hour shifts have lost break entitlement... even though theres a 70 year old bloke there and he been there 12 years, they have taken the 15 min break away... before you post in about breaks after 4 hours, thats just complimentary, by law you get a break if you work 6 or more hours, i just think they are being shitty taking break away after all this time, just a 15 min cuppa in the cold winter
then today i have been told we have to submit a hoilday request form if we have a trip to the doctors, dentist, medical and so on... this affects me as i have a foot condition (plantar fasciitis) and require treatment from time to time, im going to use up a fair bit of holiday allowance over the year while being laid up on a treatment slab... not a holiday is it not like as if im in disney world...
can they force these changes on us... ?
no im not part of any union :frown:
as said anyone in the legal know... much appreciate any help tips and advice, yes other than find another job, i actually quite like working there until now...
