My wife works for a majoy filling station chain, when she started working for them over 5 years ago it was a part time position as she was studying at the same time. Then when her studies finished approx 4 years ago she moved to full time working 37.5 hours each week. Despite numerous requests from my wife they never provided her with a new full time contract
fast forward to two years ago and the store hours were cut to 35 per week for my wife, then 10 weeks ago the store moved to staff working alone but her hours stayed at 35 per week.
then 3 weeks ago they announced that the store hours (total amount of hours they gave staff) were to be cut. all staff effected but store hours unchanged. 1st week my wife had 27 hours still rostered over 5 days, 2nd & 3rd week she was on hols and this week 20 hours.
So my wife has gone from working 7 hours a day 5 days a week to as an example this week:
10-3 mon
6-10 wed
10-12 & 2:30 - 6 thur
10-1 sat & 3:30-6 sat
total 20 hours over 4 days
we dont even know if what they are doing with the split shift is allowed?
They are unwilling to entertain staff concerns have basically said there is the door if you dont like it, aswell as giving no notice of loss of hours, and are unwilling to provide letter to say hours were cut or to facilitate any member being able to sign on for theys they are not working.
We are Looking for some direction as to what we can do, as its not going to take much for us to be unable to meet bills as i am currently unemployeed but attending college towards a degree.
Hope someone can help
