Hiya
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Some background info, I'm a PGCE student due to finish in June and my husband and I have started talking babies :T
Right. I currently work saturdays for a great building society at an awesome rate of pay. At the same time, I work 2 evenings a month for a theatre school, teaching dance. I have registered with HMRC online last week as I started with the school in August but have not heard from them since. Is that normal?
I have now been offered weekly (term time) sat work with the theatre school from Jan meaning I will soon be handing notice in. It will be less money but in the subject I'm training in and less hours on a Saturday. I'm wondering if it is possible for me to ask to be transferred to a zero hours contract with the building society. not for the maternity leave as I think I have got my head around the self employed version of it but because I like it there and am regularly asked to do overtime in the school holidays which I would not be working with the theatre school. Only snag is that I don't think they currently do zero hours contracts so do you think they would do it?
Can anyone tells me what happens in terms of holidays when you hand notice in? I have used up all my holidays for this year but will be given 5 days in Jan for the year. Does that mean if my notice goes in middle of Dec, I will get paid for those hols?
Sorry if any questions are stupid, I have been at this part time job for 2 years now and don't have a clue really

You won't hear anything from HMRC until you get your first Class 2 NIC bill

You shouldn't get the 5 days paid holiday. You can ask for zero hours but there is no entitlement to it.0
