To think care company should pay for toilet roll and cleaning products

[Dayoneor]

I have a care company in a number of hours a day. The carers have free run of the downstairs toilet using excessive amounts of toilet roll also cleaning spray and hand wash. This annoys me a bit as they wouldn’t even cover £1 parking for me yet use all that for free. Aibu to think the manager should pay for their own supplies as they would do if it was an office setting.

Yup. On a long day we used to do 7-9.30pm so 14 and a half hours with no break.

You seem quite misinformed as to how domiciliary care works. I presume you don't work in the sector?

It's not about being "forced" to work 16 hours. I am not paid for the time it takes to travel between my clients, hence this is considered a 'break'.
I cover a huge geographical area (Yorkshire Dales), so it often takes me half an hour to travel from one client to the next - so, for working a 16 hour day, I generally get paid for 9 hours.

As for telling my employers that I'm going home after X time - firstly, I need that 9 hours of pay, I can't afford to work fewer hours.
Secondly, I'm on a zero hour contract, if I told my employers I was going home, it would have a detrimental impact upon my rota in subsequent weeks.

Welcome to the real world of domiciliary care.

@JockTamsonsBairns this poster is entirely correct.

There is no "just tell your employer you're not doing it" if you need the money.

Carers really need unionising.
