I wonder if anyone can advise about the best thing to do here as Google isn't helping much. I have messaged citizen's advice but that may take a while.
The story is that I have worked 4 days a week at least for the same smallish employer for over 9 years and am now almost 58. I was part time furloughed since April working 14 hrs a week. Work has fizzled so boss told me this week that she wants to move me to a zero hour contract and envisages between 4 and 14 hours work a week but obviously not guarenteed . I understand how zero hrs contracts work but am concerned that I am being shafted in a way because if redundancy then comes along, I will have lost all my qualifying years.
My question is, would I be really stupid to accept this or would I be wrong to argue and force redundancy assuming that is an option? I would rather stay there really but am concerned this is a tactic and I will regret it when I earn tuppence a week for months and then am let go. Arggg. Thanks in advance if anybody can advise.
