Agency work - refusing to pay me
I did a shift as a cleaner at a holiday park last Fri, work which I got through an agency. During the work, the other cleaning staff commented that I needed to speed up but otherwise, no negative feedback was given. I'd never worked there before so I was highly unlikely to be as fast as everyone else. At the end of the…

Jobs with 8 hour shifts?

I know McDonalds have 8…

The form…
