i rang HR up and asked how is was based. she said it was based on contract hours worked, and not actual hours worked.

i work no less than 26 hours a week but have only been there 10 months so maybe thats why its less but seems alot less, not sure why they cant explain these things to us beforehand, so we arent disappointed or at least know where we stand!!!
