Sunday hours

Post by Lozzalamb »

Hi everyone, I’m on a 30 hour contract. With regards to Sundays I have currently done 8 Sundays straight with 2 days off in the week. I question the management why it’s always the same 4 people that are doing the Sundays when there are numerous who have Sunday in their contract. When I took the job on back in summer, I was told that it would be the odd Sunday. I would like your thoughts on this as this is unsociable hours and I’m not getting a family life balance.
