24 hour contracts

Post by breakra »

Hey everyone i have currently been on a 24 hour a week contract and have been doing this over a five day period.
After finding out the other day there is little to no chance of getting more hours contracted it got me thinking over my contract.
My contract reads 24 hours a week it says nothing about over a five day period or anything of that sort , now does this mean say by thursday if i have already hit 24 hours i can take friday saturday off?

Thanks in Advance for any help given!!!

How many days is your basic holiday entitlement? It'll say on your leave sheet.

If you are down for 22.5 then you're based on a 5 day week.

I know it seems like a long shot but i need to come some gains out of this 24 hour contract to make it not so one sided.
Maybe if i started geting back to the office at 13.50 everyday which is my contracted finish time and actually take my meal relief it mite make then take notice and either up my hours or make it over 4 days

If you don't want to work overtime tell them you can only work your hours each day (4h48m) and need returning to the office on time.
