Working without a contract?

Cash in hand?

50 quid a day is absolute bare minimum pay if it's labouring.

I'd start looking around for other work, the guy clearly is taking the piss with pay.

Find another job, can always get jobs in your local shop, pub or cafe.

Law says you have to have a day of every so many days. Think it's 11 or 14.
But that's shit. Worked with a bloke that is now my neibour. He was paying me £25 a day building fences. He said when I'm more experienced it will go up. 3 months never went up. I was work 7am till 9pm some days!

[Poodle]

Christ, you guys are nuts. Your local shop will employ you as long as you turn up every day you're scheduled and will pay an hourly rate of at least minimum wage. That works out as ~£45 for an 8 hour shift, depending on age.

im gonna go see legal advice.... i dont do labouring job i just buy gold lol but it gets to much dont get me wrong i like the job its easy but boring n wen i ask for day off its like kinda pressuring me to just work as he gonna take 100 of me for one day ..... not fair man the guy justy gone n brought a brand new porsche 911 careera 4s 13 plate .................n im the one eraning him his pennys lol

[r3k1355]

you buy gold and the guy pays you that little?
f*cking piss-taker!

Sling some moody copper shit in there on your last day and take a fist-full of gold home for your troubles.

[readie]

not a bad idea that mate lol not bad at all lol

[procta]

id look else where fella, as thats a pisstake. how the hell you gonna have time to your self and with family.

You are legally entitled to 24 hours off every week, or 48 hours every two weeks worked.
Just because you have no contract, it does not mean you are working illegally. A lot of places (high street brands too) operate on a 'verbal contract'. An absolute pile of shit, bad for the employee, as nothing is in writing, and the employer (as you are finding) can bend the rules to suit themselves.

Do you have regular payments made from your employer into your bank account? This alone is proof enough of employment, combined with your matching tax code.

If they want to get shitty and sack you for kicking up a fuss, go to a tribunal for unfair dismissal. Or as others have said, do a runner with pockets full of gold

[readie]

looool no mate i get paid cash in hand but i get wage slips........ procta i get loads of shit of my missis cuz im never at home wiv them and tbf i see were she cumin from dont wanna miss everything but the pocket full of gold wont work lol as he dont get that much up ere hahahahahahahahahaha ill just run of wiv the float money lol

[r3k1355]

Isn't that massivly under the minimum wage, by like a good quid an hour or something?

Rob an entire days taking of gold, I take it you operate one of those booths in shopping centres?
Just leave at 4pm one day with all the shiny stuff.
