I have an entirely vague contract and answers in work are equally vague. Personnel were damn right rude and evasive.
My contract is called variable hours. In the contract it states that I am not guaranteed a minimum of hours but will be given notice of a rota a week in advance.
It does not state days. It does state the company requires flexibility.
I have asked management if I am able to turn down the odd day I cannot do and they have said no. They have also given me the option of a guaranteed minimum hours contract but if they contracted me above that I would still have to carry out all shifts up to six days.
Do i have any rights within the variable hours contract to say I will not work more than 5 days a week and I will not do a certain day. (They want me to fill out a flexible working form for this)
The manager stated the difference between a zero hours contract and my current one is that I am able to accrue holiday and get a mortgage.
With nothing in the contract about my availability or in the employee handbook am I just meant to accept 6 days a week every week?
