Just looking for some advice regarding my work situation.
Sine April I have been working on a zero hours contract. I was relatively happy with that but beginning of October the company said they were offering contracts and there were internal interviews. I attended and last week I was offered a contract which I verbally accepted, I was told by HR that my contact would be sent over in due time but given a provisional start date of the 13th. The job role for the new position was quite different but anyone on a contract was obviously going to have priority for shifts so I mainly went to the interview to ensure I was not without a job. Meanwhile I have been applying for other jobs also due to few things that have happened while I have been there.
I had an interview this week and was offered the job the following day (yesterday). It's much better job (for me) and more progression so it was a no brainer to accept. I have however now been sent a rota for next week from current work place, with the hours I would have been contacted to do, yet I haven't actually signed anything. I had emailed HR this afternoon (about and hour before I recieved the rota) saying I was declining the contract but a different department handles the rotas. I have also now emailed my line manager but she is out of office until Saturday, I tired to ring her as well. Have I breeched anything? I'm worried they're going to insist I work the shifts or something.
