Does it cost an employer more money to employ 2 part timers rather than 1 full timer?
Hi, A couple of girls at work are wanting to reduce hours and go part time. We have part timers already. Manager is refusing as he says it costs them (the employer) more money to have 2 part timers rather than 1 full timer (something to do with national insurance, I think). Is this right?

Partner fired right before I started maternity leave :(
My partner lost his job a few weeks ago, literally a couple of weeks before I started maternity leave. He was fired for gross misconduct. i am not sure of exactly what happened; all he has said is that he made a decision that went against protocol (he works in IT). They must have really liked him before that, though, as…

No pay after leaving job - what do I do now?
I left my previous job a month ago, but I have received no payment. I called up the HR department of the company and asked them what's going on - they claim they have sent out a payment to my account and that nothing has been sent back to them so I should phone my bank up and ask them. I did that, but they have received no…

Bullying from Boss - Untrue Allegations Made Against Me
So to keep it brief, I have been working for a company for 3.5 years, no real issues until the turn of the year when a new manager took over and since then I have been the target of constant criticism, undermining and various acts designed to push me out of the door.

Taking a job with lower pay
So I'm through to the second - and final - round of interviews for this job. It's a few grand lower than what I'm on now.
