Chance of overtime?

Post by lurker87 »

Finally got a job from them. I was 5 weeks on "Interview Booked", changed to "Processing Security Checks" last Tuesday and remained there till this morning. Was still on "Processing Security Checks" when I checked this morning, literally 5 minutes later I got a email & text (no phone call yet?) offering me a shift starting on Monday.

They kept to their word on me starting on Dec 5th (as I was told at the registration day) but they've given me part-time daytime hours when I asked for the over-night. Leaves me some £60-80 down per week than I was expecting. :confused Should have expected it from Angard I suppose.

I won't be asking for it to be changed as, knowing Angard, it will probably make things worse but for those who've already started, what's the chance of getting overtime to bump up the hours (and pay)?

Cheers

Ah but what are the chances of actually getting paid properly? Pretty slim. Can you believe these wages? I was getting more than this ten years ago. Angard are a new low in scamming agencies. They are giving themselves our shift bonus. Arseholes.
