Temporary Full Time Contract?

Post by BillyFW »

Hi all, i'm currently on a part time contract for 28 hours a week but have been getting full time hours on overtime for the last couple of months.

I got this letter today I was just wondering if anyone else has had this and where did it lead to?

Does this basically mean i'm full time now or should I just expect this to last a few months then back down to part time?
Look forward to seeing your replies !

Temporary means temporary.
You might get put back down to part time hours .....or you might not.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I remember when a group of us got made up from PT to FT,many years ago. The letter was worded exactly the same- ‘temporary’ being used,despite the fact that we were all told it was a permanent move.

As I recall there was a bit of kick off about it all but,in typical RM style we were told not to worry. As far as I know,we all retained our full time hours,I know I have....

My advice to you would be,keep your head down & say ‘nowt! :thumbup
“Shorts,in this weather?!”

“If they’re bills I don’t want ‘em!”

“What’s she been ordering now?”
