Employment contract?

It is not the holiday pay I am enquiring about, but do I have grounds to demand a contract increase, to say 32hrs, if I have been working 32hrs or more per week for say 13 weeks I think? surely because I am contracted 8hrs, this does not then mean they can expect me to work overtime, wether I can refuse it or not, they would still frown upon me not doing overtime, and then pay me 8hrs holiday when most weeks I work full time for them? the holiday point was just because I find it frustrating.
My main concern is that I would like to ask for a contract increase, and wondered if there was any rules around how many weeks you've worked x amount of hours, before they legally have to offer you a contract based on that..
Thanks for you time !
No there is no such right. You can ask - but as they did so last time they will probably refuse.0 -

Your daughter may have been given overtime, but I'm sure she did not do it for big stretches in a row but maybe with the odd week at her contract hours?
I am sure that it is true. There is no legal right to a "bigger contract"0 -

No - the poster isn't. Nobody said that it is "right" - but it is legal.0 -
So, ive been working at least 32hrs a week for three months, I have no right to a contract increase?

What on earth are you expecting from us - to change the law?
Yes - you have no right to "a contract increase". Posting anywhere will get you that answer - if the answer is correct!0 -

Why do you think that ? Do you think that if you post it elsewhere the reply is going to be different ?:rotfl:
Some times people post on boards such as this an when people who know what they are talking about (both SarEL and lazy-daisy who are employment law solicitors and myself and the other posters who have personal experience in the matter) offer them advice....just because it isnt what they wanted to hear they throw a hissy fit !
What do you want us to do OP ? Do you want us to agree with you just because its what you want to hear ?The loopy one has gone :j0 -

We cross posted there SarEL but basically said the same thing.
Good minds and all that :rotfl:The loopy one has gone :j0 -

There are two specialist employment lawyers on this forum who have given you the same information.
Of course you don't have to accept our views - feel free to post elsewhere in the hope that people will agree with you - but it won't alter the legal position.
Do you have legal insurance with your household insurance? If so speak to the legal helpline. Otherwise, you can get free advice from ACAS or the CAB.
EDIT cross posted with aboveI'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -

That's absolutely true.
Which is why I have suggested that you seek specialist independent advice.I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
