What f*cking abysmal commentary. Makes you appreciate Will Cope.

How much is it to actually sponsor a player? And therefore, how much extra will be going to a charity?

What the hell has David Luker got to do with this?

In the space where most people put their penis.

Should have worn speedos then. More fool you.

You have a PM Rich.

Chris Perry is what, 35? Lucketti was 37 two seasons ago.

Exactly my point. My employer makes sh*t loads of profit exploiting people like this.

I was told something like that, but I didn't know the exact amount.

Would be a decent signing. Scores a few from set pieces as well.

Didn't Lowe also say we would expand the stadium if we sold more than 20k season tickets?

No worries. To be fair, I don't know what the usual amount is you should get paid for holiday, but at the moment we're being paid less than half we would be getting if we'd worked. As I said, this isn't one of my major worries.

I never complained about the holidays :confused: The point I was making R.E holiday pay was that I work 13 hours a day, and only get paid 6 hours if I book a day off. So if I book a week off, i'm going to be in the sh*t with any financial commitments.

'fraid not. :-#

I understand this, and I won't be expecting to still be working there should I take any action. The new manager i'm working under is actually my employers father-in-law (who I might add had never worked in this type of job before, wonder how he got the position). So I won't be discussing this with him. There are a number of people throughout the whole company though who have complained in the past but never actually taken it further.

We get 28 days holiday a year. Nope he didn't, and I told him myself that he should have done. Might get in contact with him if I do take things further though.

Another example of a colossal mistake on his part. My former manager at the shop slipped on a step and injured his back, meaning he had to take 2 weeks off and was in considerable pain for a while afterwards. The step in question had plastic wall tiling around it as a border - obviously, it has f*ck all grip so people slip all the time but he does nothing about it. Anyway; my manager wasn't paid anything, for either the two week period he was off or as compensation for his injury.

I do enjoy what I do though. I don't particularly want to leave, but i'm not going to sit back and be taken for a ride either.

I was going to go ahead with this, but i've decided he's made money in spite of himself for long enough. I've been merrily working 50-60 hours a week on minimum wage with, as i've said, no pension scheme, no sick pay, and terrible, terrible holiday pay. He's happy to let me carry on rather than hire someone else and cost himself money on tax etc. I'm sick of being exploited, and I don't particularly want anybody else to be in my position. And yes, he has far more than 5 employees - round about 40-50 I would of said.

Afraid not, it's a chain of shops around Dorset.

Hilarious.

Cheers, that was helpful. I've looked into it and i'm pretty sure i'm not a casual employee, but not 100%. And as for the last point, i've been working there for 13 months now.

Also, I work around food and I know for a fact that in the shop I work in (my employer owns several) not a single person has a food hygiene certificate or a work related first aid qualification.

It's a collection of things, e.g, not giving me a contract of employment despite me being a full time member of staff, not giving any sick pay, not having a pension scheme in place. As I said, i'm certain there are a fair few more things that they are doing wrong, and I want to identify all of them before I take things any further.

Does anyone have a link for a simple (preferably point by point) guide to exactly what an employer is required by law to provide for their employees? I have tried google, before anyone asks. I would go to a solicitor but I don't actually have a complaint to make yet, as I want to make sure I know everything my employer is doing wrong before I take it any further.
