I have received an email from my employer stating that if I don't complete a list of online training programmes within 14 days then I will receive a written warning or a disciplinary. They want me to complete them for free in my own time and there is about 10 of them. I am currently working 6 days a week and I have no idea when I would even fit it in. Is this legal or are they just being cheeky? I have worked there for just under 2 years so I'm not a brand new employee. I would have no problem doing it in work time but I'm pissed of about doing it in my own time unpaid.

I already don't get paid for breaks and regularly miss them and stay longer than I should and I feel like this is the final straw of piss taking.

Bet they’re doing it to allow them to let you go before the two year point when you get employment rights. So sorry.

@daisychain01 eh? It would even get to a tribunal without the 2 years qualifying period unless the OP linked her claim to a discrimination claim.
OP, in the nicest way possible- just do the training.
