Anyone know about Employment Law

SarEl

No. Up to 12 months there is no right to claim unfair dismissal. So nothing you can do about it.

With the appropriate, legally required breaks, I hope?

A break of 20 minutes if working over 6 hrs, not to be taken at the start or end of the shift.

How could they? (1) An employer can't give less than the statutory minimum...?




:rotfl: :rotfl: (2) That was SUCH a funny thread, utterly bizarre! I did wonder if you'd seen those posts, as you hadn't replied, and then the posts had disappeared the next morning when I logged on! Did you report them? Someone must have...!

(I was rather alarmed to see that you were a grammar pedant, too, though - the case did rather build up against me. Or us? I've no idea. )

(1) My suggestion was that the employer could give up their right to the one week's notice from their employee even though they could not require the employee to forgo the notice to which the employee would be entitled. In real life I would not expect that to be written from the outset but could be negotiated when an employee wanted to leave.

(2) I did see the posts but didn't respond as I thought it might just add fuel to the fire. I didn't report them either.

Ah, apologies, I mis-understood the phrasing. I thought you meant an employer could insist an employee had only three days' notice, rather than the employee wanting to not give a week.

Well, you're a better person than me, then! I wonder how they got taken down though; my curiosity has been piqued.

You have to be clear.

An employer can give less than statutory notice but unless the employee agrees they need to PILON for the statutory or contractual notice if more than he notice given(there is an exception when the employee is unable to work).

The advantage tot he employee is that they can claim JSA and still get PILON.

I am clear on what the employer's obligation is to the employee - I just misunderstood LV, that's all.

But thanks for reminding me that I 'have' to be clear.

So basically all they have to allow you for a 13 hr shift is a 20 min break ?

Edited because I don't want the OP to see this and think it's correct when it apparently isn't!! (Post quoted in next post anyway!)

20 mins for every six hours worked.

No. Sorry. 20 minutes break if you work six or more hours. Not 20 minutes every six hours. If someone works 13 hours they are entitled to a 20 minutes break.
