Lovely lovely people of Stafford Forum....what do you know about Zero hours contracts?
In Nov/Dec of 2013 I started work for a small family company on a casual basis with a zero hours contract....I was to work as & when they needed me & also cover the holiday of other staff if it was convenient for me....brill! The pay was very good, the hours were good, I got on with everyone there - & the husband worked there too - bonus!
However, in the middle of last year my husband left to persue another job.....at the same time my work just stopped
I figured maybe they felt awkward employing me, when he had gone, so didn't do anything about it, figured that was it & just tootled on with my life....
Until about a week ago when I received a P60....
This seems to mean that I still work there....does it?
Why would they keep me on the books when I haven't had any work since last summer?
What does it mean for me?
Is there anything suspicious about this, if there is then what should I do? What are my rights & are there any advantages to being classed as employed....even if I'm not?
Thank you x.
