Being Forced To Take Toil This Christmas
The MD of the small business I work for (12 of us) decided yesterday that we will be closing for 2 whole weeks over Christmas so some improvement works can take place within the office building I have a lot of TOIL built up (as well as time owed from being on call) and the MD has told me I must use the TOIL for at least 1…

Appyling for jobs just to get benefits.
Sorry if this looks like spamming but I have to get it off my chest. It is really annoying to see right wing views get so much attention. These views are so stupid and simplistic. I apply for any job I can find. Now it seems that applying for any job is bad too because I am apparently, according to the right wing, "just…

Dismissed and JSA
I was recently dismissed from my job (wrongfully IMO) and they have given me a factual reference. When I applied for JSA I put dismissed on my form. They now tell me that they may stop my JSA if it was my fault I left my old job. And they will write to me and my old employer to get stories. What should I write down!? I can…

Employer refuses to provide written particulars
As the title specifies! :eek: There is no written contract of employment or staff handbook to refer to. I know that employers are obliged to provide written particulars to workers within two months of them starting. When that doesn't happen, other than taking the issue to tribunal, are there any repercussions for employers…

Do I count as 'employed' on official documents whilst on a zero hour contract
I need to fill in some official documents - court papers - and don't know if I'm classed as 'employed' or not. I'm currently a student, and on a zero hour contract with my university, and pick up the odd days work here and there doing admin work etc. I'm not sure if this question is actually answerable, (does my employment…

4 on, 4 off shifts. What could I do in spare time?
Evening All! First post here so apologies if it's the wrong place.. I currently work 4 on, 4 off (2 days, 2 night 12hr shifts). I enjoy my work but would fancy earning a small bit of extra money during my time off. Doesn't have to be a lot and even if it's just one extra day a week it'd break up the 4 off! The problem is,…

Overlooked for promotion
Just after some thoughts really I work in a small dept with just me, my boss and 2 part timers who report to me.

Has anyone used Career Match UK online training? Microsoft/Cisco
Just seen a Groupon for Microsoft online training with Career Match UK (www.careermatch-uk.com) My Microsoft certification has lapsed so this looks like it could be a bargain to train before taking the exams. Has anyone used Career Match? If so, what did they think? Thanks Nick

What would you consider a GOOD wage?
I've been thinking about this question for a while now. When i was younger i was told that you should be earning a few thousand above your age. So if your 25 years old you should be on a minimum of 26K+ per year? What are other peoples views on 'What a good wage is?'
