Mis-sold my Job, can I claim if I quit?

Killmark

For those wondering OP's salary from his figures would have been

basic salary: £15,600
sleep-in (average): £4,550

Total: £20,150


Whereas he was paid the hourly rate whilst sleeping in his salary would have been: £27,820

Over 20,000 is not bad for the care sector, particularly as I get the impression that the OP has no experience in this field.

She told them that and they said it doesnt apply in her area of work and esp not for lone working because you cant leave the vulnerable adult alone. Ive tried looking online for working regulations/breaks etc but it seems to be a total grey area to be honest. Sorry OP, for taking over the thread!

It sounds as though your mum's job is the same as mine - it's common practice and legal.

How long has she been doing the job - I took mine knowing that's how it works?

We dont get breaks as such but I assume she is like me and has a fair bit of time when she can sit with a cuppa?

Does she 'relax' with the residents?

If I'm sat watching a film with the residents, I count that as a break tbh - I know it's not strictly but then I wouldn't have an hour and a half long break in any job iyswim?

Some shifts are hard work but mostly we
can arrange things so we get time out every now and again - I take a break when it's quiet and get any work done after if need be.

There is positives and negatives to any job and I think lone working has many advantages tbh.

I'm wondering why people take these jobs if they want set breaks and routines? It's just not possible in a residential home imo so you have to be able to adapt to the shift as it presents.

You sound like you prefer handouts.

Hi all,

I thought I would update this as there is new news and it may be of help to some people, well I did quit my job, sent a letter and email on the Monday morning, on Thursday I received a telephone call asking why I hadn't turned up for work! Told them about email and letter and was told that all the HR department was on holiday!

I went to the job centre to sign on for JSA (contribution based) on Thursday 1st July and explained the reason why I was unemployed and I was given a form to fill in to state what was in my first post.

Today I received a letter to say I will get full JSA (contribution based) but the good news was on Friday 2nd July I attended a job interview and started work on Monday 5th July so I have signed of again!

I am also looking at starting my own web design and hosting company just incase I need to fall back on something.

If they prefer handouts getting a different job was obviously a bad idea..

Congrats StanleyMog
