Pay for 18 year old and

Post by syed127157 »

how many hours do they pay you?

For example in one day you work 8 hours do they pay the full 8 hours if not how many hours do they pay you? How long is the lunch break and general break?

Also how many hours are they likely to give me if I get the job? I want to work full 6 days.

Number of hours cannot really be given in any certainty whatsoever.

You may or may not get extra hours on what you accept at the "interview" - you may get less.

With respect to what you get paid, as a Christmas casual, you will probably get paid hours worked minus official break times. Official break times will vary dependent upon: who you are employed by (Royal Mail or Angard); number of hours worked; potentially where you are employed and shift you are employed on.

If you are employed with The Royal Mail you will get the NMW for your area. In the North West it's £6.31 I think. Everyone last year was on £6.19 regardless of age. Angard on the other-hand was totally different. 16 - 18 year olds, 19 - 21 year olds will receive less than over 21's. In the area I'm from £3.68, £4.98 and £6.09 was the pay rates for age groups with Angard, that was back in 2011 though.

If you are contracted to a 8 hour shift 30 minutes will be taken away officially from your wage, and that is the only break you are entitled too. Sometimes you are given extra and it doesn't normally go against you.

I would not worry about days and hours because once you are in you should get plenty of overtime with The Royal Mail over the Christmas period, as for Angard I do not have a clue, they were messed about quite a bit last year.
