My 16 year old dd has a job Saturday and holidays as a playworker. She only gets minimum wage of £4.89 per hour but loves it so all OK. My issue is that she doesn't get paid for all the time she works. Her hours should be 9 to 4.30 (the scheme runs 9.30 to 4) but none of the playworkers are allowed to go until everything is cleared up which can be anything from 4.40 to after 5. I drop her off and pick her up so end up sitting in the car for ages and estimate that since she started working there she has worked 4 hours for free. She doesn't want to make a fuss and it's her job so I will respect that but do feel they are being exploited. It's not the money but the principle (and the annoying wait in the car)
