self-employed workers win battle
Twenty car valeters have won the final leg of a three-year battle to prove they are not self-employed. Workers, hired by Autoclenz to clean cars for British Car Auctions, were asked to sign new contracts designed to prove they were sub-contractors and so not entitled to protections like the minimum wage, holiday pay and…

Mistakes on P45
I've been going to and fro between my old employer to get a P45 for a couple of months now, partly as my old boss had left and partly because there is a dispute over when I left (I say Sept 2009, they say Jan 2011 even though I was living 300 miles away from the job between those dates!). I've just received my p45 and it…

Over contracted hours
The company I work for expects you to work over your hours when needs be and deosn't pay overtime. Some weeks we are sent home early (2 hours normally) because we have finished the work, surely it's wrong they don't pay for the extra hours we do. Last month one of my workmates worked over his contracted 40 hours by…

I'm at a crossroad and don't quite know what to do
Hi All, I'll keep this as brief as possible. I've been headhunted, and went along to the interviews for 'experience'. Purely because my friends and family told me I'd be stupid not to. I had 2 x interview with the agency and 1 x with the 'new' company. The new company is a competitor, and it now seems like they actually…

Disciplinary Hearing - any thoughts?
I'll try and keep this short and sweet: My OH had problems with his new work boots hurting his feet but was refused new ones without a doctors note (couldn't get one - another story!). They also wouldn't let him wear his own that he bought. As a result he got sent home from work due to limping. His manager told him to see…

I live 12 miles away from the high school and run my kids to and from daily and go to work from there. To get to school by bus would take 3 bus…
