Hi there
The missus started work as a full time/permanent home support worked (all a newly qualified physio can get these days) with her contract stating that she is contracted to work 39 hours a week, it was advertised as shift work 7 days a week with the service operating between 8am and 11pm.
She got her time table and is working all over the place one client could be say 9-10am the next 11.30-12.30 then the next 3.30-4.30 and then 6.30-8.30. so she techinacally starts her working day at 9am and finished at 8.30 (going to different homes) that makes it11.5 hours but employer only counts this as 5 hours. Is this right??? I mean what is she supposed to do with an hour or two off here and there? Is this legal.
Also is there a minimum amount of time an employer must give you your rota say a week/month in advance at the moment the missus only gets about 2 days notice so we can't plan anything.
