Getting industry references
I've seen a role I would like to apply for, the listing specifically requests two industry references along with my application.

Resigning from stress at work
I recently went through a disciplinary at work where a written final warning was the outcome.

Working hours
Just a quick question. Im a carer and work sometimes 40+ hours a week, my boss has said I cannot be doing all these hours. After a bit of office gossip a remark was made (just jokingly I think!) that if I work more than 48 hours a week it would be voluntary. I'm just wondering if it is illegal to work more than 48 hours a…

Holiday Accrual During Sick Leave - AGENCY
Hi all, Having trouble finding something definitive on this. Do I accrue holiday leave when I am off sick if I am with an agency.
