Your kid is working a minimum wage job for a very poor manager. I would recommend he gets another job and leave this one.
There are plenty of good employers out there who appreciate someone who would work 12 out of 14 days to help out when short staffed.
They cannot unilaterally change the contract like that, regardless of whether it is written down.Trying to locate contract, I do recall it being very short. They have a screen shot of the employers wife stating "we always start at the minimum wage." Their first pay was in cash and lower rate as training. The next playslip that they can find is September 2nd and it's 9.50 per hour. Apparently they sent the others to the incorrect email. These show the minimum adult rate at the time. So can they reduce it from that?
But if rate isn't stated in the contract can they reduce the rate?
Hi,They cannot unilaterally change the contract like that, regardless of whether it is written down.
Legally the employer must give an employee written terms and conditions of employment within 3 months of starting. If they don't get them they have an additional 3 months to ask for them. After that time they accept custom and practice within the workplace. Do remember that all the legislation protects the employee and not the employer (and rightly so as it is not an equal relationship) so not having them in writing only strengthens the position of the employee.Hi, I spoke with a lady from WRC and she said he cannot reduce my kids wage. They also don't have to raise it to 10.10 from 9.80 due to their age. But that isn't as bad as going down to 8.08. Waiting on payslip on Friday to see what actually occurs. Also she never got any "terms or employment" which is against the rules. And they also have to give 24 hours notice to change work times, which didn't occur.
Advice given was to log everything dates, times and if any other staff member was there.
I'll update on Friday.
Thanks
My kid is in secondary school doing the leaving cert so no convincing to return to school there.
Your kid has a bad boss.
Bad boss will make it miserable for your kid to carry on working there no matter what the pay.
As a parent you need to step up and be a good parent during the leaving cert year.
Tell your kid to stop work
Pay your kids car loan until June
Get you kid to focus on the leaving and help her to stay relaxed, rested and stress free in her down time.
This is not what you came here to be told and I understand you may not want to hear this, but I think you are focussing on the wrong thing.
The boss is a bad boss
You need to be the parent
