Having been off ill for 3days I have come back to find that my pay has been reduced. Normally I get paid at regular rates if I am off which is not often. I was off 2days last month with a virus one of the Mechanics was spreading round…no change in pay. This week the hourly rate is the same but about 50% less hours.
Only thing that has changed since then is that my (fingers crossed) future employer has asked for a reference which the boss was not happy about. No confirmation / start date for the new job yet though and thats a different story…
So should I have it out with him and ask why he chose this time to move the goal posts? Ask for the full weeks pay?
Couple of points: I have been here over 2.5yrs and have no contract despite asking several times in wiriting. There is no union / union rep.
