I'm hoping for some clarity or advice, as my workplace really doesn't know what it's doing!
Have been working in hospitality for almost 2 years, will be 2 years in June. When I started the job, there was a payroll manager and an HR person, but father a change in management both were sacked. Payroll outsourced to a company and no HR at all, so no-one to ask. Managers don't seem to know what they are doing and change rapidly.
I did originally have a contract. It didn't state any set hours so I got random shifts every week but usually 5 of them per week....though no guarantee. In that contract it stated my notice period would be 1 month if I left.
Recently I asked to have fewer shifts and was told I could only do this if I consented to being a casual worker. I agreed to being a casual worker so have only just been made one. But there is no contract, just a letter to say I am now a casual worker (which I assume constitutes a contractual agreement but I didn't sign anything). From that point onwards they have given me just 3 shifts in about 3 weeks, and this week no shifts at all.
Quite frankly the job isn't worth it and I've just been offered a fantastic full-time post elsewhere. But what is my notice period?
My new job doesn't start until mid-June. If I give my notice in straight away I'm thinking I won't be given any more shifts at the old job at all, whereas if I leave it until the last minute I might pick up a bit of money before I go?
Can anyone advise me please? Grateful thanks.
