Live-in accomidation
Dear all, A close friend of mine works at a boarding kennels and is provided a mobile home to live in. The business owners also live on site in a conventional dwelling. It is my understanding that for insurance purposes a member of staff must remain on site at all times. Is it therefore unreasonable to expect her to ask…
Expectation of unpaid work
Hi My daughter who is a student (age 20) has a part-time job at a local gift shop. She has been told that she must arrive at work at 08.45 to open the shop but will not be paid until 09.00. Equally, she is not allowed to start cashing up/cleaning until 18.00 when the shop closes meaning it is impossible for her to finish…
Overpayment and Deductions
Hi everyone, Just had a quick question. I started a new job in the NHS 13 months ago. However, recently they have taken a large amount of 3 pay checks to pay for 'overpayment' for the previous 6 months. I worked for 6 months and was paid the same amount each month (basically it was 'banded' at a certain amount). In month…
Holiday Entitlement
I handed in my notice recently and I discovered that I will be paid for 8 days annual leave that I have not taken. I have a few questions: 1) How is the daily rate calculated? Is it: net pay per year/number of working days per year? 2) If the answer to (1) is yes, then how many working days are there in 2016? 3) I handed…

Garden leave - Holiday Pay
I left my current job recently after handing in my notice, then around 2 weeks into my notice period they decided to abruptly place me on garden leave. The whole process was rather sudden and *not* preplanned ( I was still doing handover to my colleagues ). Regardless I was owed 3 days holiday and this has been confirmed…
Twelve good reasons to out my former boss:
1 Wrongful dismissal after 13 years with a clean disciplinary record. 2 I was sacked without warning via a second-class letter. 3 He failed to invite me to discuss the matter first, as required by employment law. 4 The dismissal notice falsely claimed that failing to do a vehicle check before a journey was gross…
Anyone work for G4S as cashier ?
Hi I have been invited to an assessment centre for a cashier role for G4S in Glasgow. Has anyone attended one before who could tell me what's involved, and the type of questions I should prepare for. Also if anyone has worked as cashier, could you describe an average day as the job description for the one advertised was…
Fuel Card Benefits
Hi. I am being told by everyone at work that is more beneficial for me to use a fuel card with my company car but any way i look at it it looks cheaper to pay for my fuel personally and then claim back my business mileage. The current mileage rate is only 9p so its not as good as it was but still looks cheaper to me. My…
