Old Job New company

Hi there, I am a cleaner, early mornings for Waitrose/John Lewis... the company we worked for has left the contract and a new contractor has taken over. I have two contracts for two sites I get paid £8.50hr at both and I am the supervisor at one site where I currently do 3hrs per day 6 days a week and supervise two fellow cleaners. Their contract are for 2.5 hours a day 6 days a week.
The second site I work 4hrs 5 days a week work alone no other staff.
I just got my new contract firstly... the first site the hours appear to be 48hrs a week which is 8hrs a day 6 days a week... with a pay drop to basic and not a supervisor. There is NOT the work for 8hrs a day.
The second sight is the same pay rate £8.50 and a supervisor although I am the only cleaner and noone to supervise!!!
They also state I can to be sent to any site they deem fit to send me anywhere. I am a career hence work early mornings. This is an older contract than the cleaning work.
If I read the contract right I will be working 12hrs a day not including two one hour unpaid breaks.
Any advice would be great.

You worked for company A, but now B and the place of work put you at JL/Waitrose?0 -
I work at a Waitrose store from 4am until 7am then go to a John Lewis site from 7am to 11am (allowing for travel) Each with separate contracts0

Cleaning is outsourced to cleaning contractors0

Yes I understand, but is it, 1 company or 2? Is it the same company you started with or has this switched several times?Cleaning is outsourced to cleaning contractors
Sorry it's very confusing. Can you just do a step by step. You started work for ___ in ____ and since then A, B and C has happened.0 -
I think where you start is with a query that you don't think the hours and pay are correct and haven't they sent you the wrong paperwork. Not least, the two contracts don't work together - you can't work 48 hours at one site and 20 hours at the other.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Suspect a very poor cut and paste job with no proof reading. You will need to go back to your employer and get clarification on the details.0

I started working 5/6 years ago for an agency. When the my supervisor left I was offered a job with ICM/Compass Group I worked with them for 2 years until they lost the contract and Exclusive Contract Services took over. I don't know what happened but suddenly they dropped the contract and Premium Contract Services have taken over.0
