work told me not to come in today, I was willing to go in, now they are saying I wont be paid

[ssd]

is this even legal, I was willing to go into work, I can get there ok, work contacted me before I started to say we are shut, don't come in...so of course I didn't go, now I'm told I won't be paid for today

bloody hell!!

have been there years and years, part time but never had a contract and this hasn't happened before

what do I do? there's no hr dept, its just one person in charge, who seems to make it up as they go along.

am trying to get a new job but its not easy

If they close they have to pay you.

Yes they have to pay you

And as a pp said, they are in breach of employment law if you have no contract.

If they close, they have to pay you.

Fucking hell.

Not giving people regular (PAID) hours after THREE YEARS should be outlawed. (And zero hours contracts need banning too: you can't pay bills and rent/mortgage with a zero hours contract!)

What a pisstake. Some employers are a fucking disgrace, treating their employees like this. YANBU @ssd

I would look into the links and info given to you.

I believe that no only do they have to pay you, they can NOT make you take it as a holiday day.

All kinds of newspapers published the rules again today because of employers like yours.

What happens if someone is on a zero hours contract please?

I'm temping just now and won't be paid ffs

'What happens if someone is on a zero hours contract please?'
wont get paid

OP, are there other people working there in the same boat?

Get together, gather your case from the info here, look through the newspaper coverage, out it all in a simple straightforward written statement and either all sign it or all meet with your employer.

Standard practice for an “as needed” retail contract is you won’t get paid and you have no rights to get paid if they send you home/ask you not to come in.

Sorry

It’s not necessarily as black and white as getting paid because they told you not to come in.
I was told not to go in for a shift as the event I was working was cancelled. I will be paid as will others who were doing their normal contracted hours. However, for those who would have been doing it as extra hours over and above their contract it will not be paid.

No contract no case I would imagine ...
