Part timers, Saturday off

Post by thefall101 »

I've been working at RM for about 3 years as a part timer and recently our office has got a new manager. Now, he hasn't given me a Saturday off for about 4-5 months and i'm sure I heard him say part timers won't get them off anymore in our office, as we have lost a few people recently. Can anyone tell me if part timers are entitled to a certain number of Saturdays of a month or something, 'cause this 's**t', smells like bullshit to me.

Not a "certain" number of Saturdays but it is illegal to treat part-timers less favourably than full timers.

Though just check your contract as after the last pay agreement a lot of people were initially employed to work saturdays only or set days ie Mon tue sat. If not then as Tbt says above
