Hello,

If I work for a company and just say I turn up for work (today) and my manager says to me that I must take Friday off (because were not busy) and if were not busy tomorrow (Thurs) I’ll have to sent you home as well. All this time off is at my own expense basically they are docking money from my wages because they’re not busy.

I have a contract of employment signed with them and it says nothing in it about being docked hours if we are not busy.

Where do I stand legally, I would of thought that if they wanted to place employee’s on short time that they would have to give them amble notice.

Any advice welcome
 
Employers can decide when you take holidays (or any leave) but usually they do need to give reasonable notice. Probably worth giving NERA a call. What does your contract say about leave?

It’s not holiday (paid) leave; it’s unpaid leave.
AFAIK this is not legal. Short weeks etc must be agreed in advance.
 
Correct Purple, this is not holidays this is forced unpaid leave, basically they are making me unemployed at a days notice, they even want us to turn up for work in the mornings and if itsd not busy they said that they will have to send us home, without paying us for the hours that they docked us for.
 
They cannot pick and choose when to send you home !!!

Ring NERA, and ask employer to document this for you.
