I recently started a new job (end of Feb).
My boss (owner of the business) gave me my contract the other day to read through and sign etc. Just read through it and I'm not very happy about it but I have no idea if there's anything I can actually do about it without upsetting my boss and still being able to keep my job!
At the moment I have a food hygiene certificate thing which has expired. My boss wants me to renew it online. Fair enough. However, she wants me to pay for it. Aibu to think that if she wants me to renew it she should pay for it? Or is that not how it works? I honestly don't know as not been in this situation before!
Also, even though the job was not advertised or presented to me as a zero hours contract that is, effectively, what the job is as the contract states that I have no minimum hours of work and that hours will be given to me as and when they are available. So far this has not been a problem as the business has been busy and I am consistantly doing 3-4 days a week (fitting around my studies) but I couldn't afford to live on much less than that so I'm concerned that by signing this contract I'll be effectively giving them permission to cut my hours as and when they see fit.
Is there anything I can do about it? Or do I just have to put up with it? So far they have been good people to work for and the hours are really good and I think I'd find it really difficult to find something else as good in the same industry if I left
