I work part time and have been offered a chance to increase my days from 2 to 3 which is great as I'm skint and took a 20% pay cut even before looking at only 2/5 when I took this job (so that I could have more time with ds before he started school).
There have been niggles with management over various things, bank holidays being an example. We have been given a document regarding variation of working, but while it increases salary and holiday to 3/5, car allowance and bank holidays have stayed the same (car allowance is paid pro rata at 2/5).
The HR person put the variation document together and said that we weren't entitled to any bank holiday. Contract also has 23 days holiday rather than 24, which I understood to be the statutory minimum, but when myself and a colleague raised this with our line manager, he said that because oif the BH thing, they could give us 23 days, not the 24 stautory, which doesnlt give me a huge amount of confidence in the HR person, TBH.
If you've got to the bottom of that, thanks very much. If you've got any advice as to how to approach tackling it, even more thanks!
