GarethRDR Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Also, how do i stand if ive never signed a contract? Ive been with my firm for 9 years now. How can you have been working for a firm for nearly a decade without signing a contract?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Richard if you have no contract of employment then you will have to have some sort of "work rules" that all abide by. When you joined the company did you sign any sort of acceptance letter? Basically you can be screwed on big style without the backing of agreed T&C's - things not only for holidays but also for notice periods etc When i first joined, i did so as an apprentice electrician and i think i signed something (it is 9 years ago), but when i qualified as an electrician i think i was supposed to 're-sign' to the company as my training had technically finished and i was a qualified electrician, but i never have. Also, ive been office based now as an estimator for the last 3/4 years but still get paid and hourly rate as i was when on site. In answer to the question, the agreed has always been as you said, 20 days (5 of those used for Christmas period), and 8 bank holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 As an apprentice Wiggy, you would have signed a contract. I did, and I can't remember what the **** I signed tbh. I'd have a word with HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Don't think this deserves its own thread but I'm going to need to figure out how to survive on $80 (£40) a month. Ok it isn't that bad since I'm not the one paying the bills and mortgage etc but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I would suggest selling your body, but I fear that sexual favours from a blue cat might be too niche a market to raise a lot of money in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 40 quid just for food or like going out and stuff aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 £40 impossible, leave breakfest for starters. Maybe lunch too. Just have dinner once every two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well i ask if its just for food because if it is then it is very possible, if its food, leisure, stuff etc... then no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 £40 a month, that's under £1.50 a day? I guess it could be done, lots of really rank food though. I thought going to live off £50 a week at Uni was bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 40 quid just for food or like going out and stuff aswell? Knew it would get blown out of proportion it's my fault for not explaining it thoroughly, so sorry. Nope, it's 40 quid for just going out, buying stuff etc., I can live with it but it'll mean being very austere and eating at home as far as I can guess. (cos technically I'm still a minor, so my parents provide food for me at home, but going out of the house will be a problem.) Edit: Includes transport costs as well, for the times when I'll be going out on my own instead of being together with the family. So it's 40 quid for entertainment and transport expenses, but not for food or bills or anything major like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get far on £40 a month for entertainment in Singers, as i'm sure you are aware! Its one of the most expensive places I have ever been!
