A casual contract can leave you waiting for work. It cannot wipe out your rights to wages and holiday. Here is what you can claim, and where the gaps remain.
Your job may last six weeks. Your employer still owes you proper pay and paid holiday. Check your status, your payslip and what happens at the end.
Sick pay and family leave have changed. Most GB tribunal deadlines are now six months minus a day, but the shorter unfair-dismissal qualifying period starts in January.
A temporary job does not mean second-class rights. Check your terms, save the evidence and challenge unequal treatment or non-renewal before the deadline.
Sponsorship gives your employer power over your job and your right to stay. It also gives them duties they cannot put off or pass on to you.
If your job is in a proposed round of cuts, you have a right to be heard before decisions are final. Here is what to ask today and which deadline is ticking.
Suspension is not a finding of guilt. Your employer needs a proper reason to keep you away, and should normally keep paying you.
Know your rights after a no-warning dismissal: what to write down today, whether you are owed notice, and the claim deadline you must not miss.
You can usually say no. Check any attendance duty before you leave, but do not let an employer make wages you have earned depend on giving feedback.
An exit package can contain money you are already owed and money offered for giving up claims. Separate the two before you sign.
An empty rota does not erase your right to pay. Check what your employer owes before you agree to a cut or resign.
Illness does not make dismissal automatic. Check what your employer tried before deciding to dismiss you, what you are owed and your deadline to challenge the decision.
