Putting Notice In / No Contract?

StevenB12

Hey guys.

Just wondering if anyone might know where I stand on this. A few month ago now I started working for a small business, boss is self employed and basically has me and one other full time worker. 2/3 casual workers. So far I have no contract and no pension (Been about 5 month now).

Before I started I was promised my own van, tools etc, that there was plenty of work and a christmas bonus would follow as well as a pay rise this year.

So far I haven't got a works vehicle, there was no christmas bonus, there has now been twice where I haven't been in to work for 2 days in a row with little to no contact from the boss, so you're sitting next to your phone all day waiting to see what's happening. Also, over christmas we were giving two weeks time off, but I have not been paid for one of those weeks in which he didn't tell me that you had to use holidays, holidays that I obviously hadn't accumulated due to just starting.

I'm just wondering where I stand as far as any notice goes etc? First time I have worked for someone self employed and not an established company. I've got a job offer that I need to get the ball rolling on and I'm probably guessing I will need to tell potential new employer that I will need to give 2 weeks notice?

Thanks for any advice

If there's no written contract in place, the law says one weeks notice.
