    Contract that only gives 20 days leave to include bank/public holidays.

    Many thanks, I wasn't someone who worked irregular hours, part time hours or a in a school/education setting. 40+ hours expected per week in a office job for a business less than 2 years old.

    Contract that only gives 20 days leave to include bank/public holidays.

    Hi, I'd been fortunately until now to work for companies who'd write annual leave as 20 days + bank holidays or the 5.6 weeks allowance inclusive in contracts. I've had an Employer who had it in their contract holidays were an overall max of 20 days (and out of this their contract said they...

    Paid Work Trial

    Thanks enormously all for the insights. @pentel - I wasn't given a new starter form just told I'd be paid, which is certainly what made me want to post/query, thinking really how does it work to pay people to do a trial. I guess I'm in the clear and the employer has really no intent to pay. I...

    Paid Work Trial

    Hi, My apologies for asking what may be a dumb question or overthinking this. I appreciate there are lots of postings over the internet about cross people never being paid from a trial but it's not clear what happens when the employer wants to pay you officially. After having an interview...

    Pension contribution set up after leaving employment.

    As I hadn't heard anything, I did follow this up before thinking of issuing MCOL - got this tiny victory back Yes in short, our accountants summarised that: 'As xxxxxx was with the company from April 2021 to October 2021 she would have been due employer pension contributions of £71.11 for the...

    Pension contribution set up after leaving employment.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond - sadly the attitude coming from my line manager of a director was well I am not on payroll so can't help you. The only written piece of paper from them is their employment contract. Sadly I didn't like to approach the other far older Director who I just...

    Pension contribution set up after leaving employment.

    Thank you so much for listening, the Employer's first response last week, was well, we least are right on for everyone else, as if in some consolation, which if nothing frankly incensed me and after asking them to make it good as I said not wiling to over look pension contributions - Today they...

    Pension contribution set up after leaving employment.

    If your employer was required to enrol you in a pension scheme at an earlier date THEY must pay your contributions due to it from its inception if they did not deduct them from you at the time. But how do I find this out? if nothing was put in writing, there were no 'we're able to delay pension...

    employment status

    I once was set to do a 9-month fixed term contract. It was a calling campaign of the UK that barely lasted 6 months before the book had to go into print with working to strict deadlines. It was an overlook on the team that recruitment me that 9 months were wholly needed, but easily dealt with...

    Pension contribution set up after leaving employment.

    Hi, Thank you for allowing me to join. I've not had this situation before and hope I'll make sense. I left a very small Employer (no HR etc) after 6 months in part because/when it was starting to look like I wouldn't have a pension set up. (the contract of employment gave no dates of when the...
