Hi there,
I posted this in employment, but hoping for some quick responses....
My 18yo son has been working night shifts at Tescos. He thought he would try it and has been doing it a week - but really struggling with his sleep. He wants to give it up. His contracted hours are 1 night per week, but they can ask him to do more.
This week he is meant to work tonight, plus Thurs and Fri night.
He wrote his letter of resignation y'day (Sun), and his manager said he had to give a week's notice. He has found an (old) staff Handbook online which says that if you have worked for less than 30 days then there is no notice period. (He wasn't given a staff Handbook when he started, so doesn't know if this has changed) He has emailed his manager to ask whether this is correct, but has not had a reply.
So - Does anyone know whether he does have to work one week? And does anyone know what happens if he decides not to work this week? (He is worried about losing the pay for the nights he has already done... could this happen?)
Thanks!
