"Hi everyone,I know this is not exactly what this site is all about but,at the moment,it's the widest forum available to me. Does anyone know if it is legal for my employer to reduce my hourly rate by making me do longer hours for the same weekly wage. I'm currently contracted 42 hrs per week but they want me to work 48 for the same salary. Thanks for any advice offered. XXXX" Yes it's legal. I'm on a yearly salary it gets split into 12 equal amounts I get paid the same if I do 48 hours or 24 hours a week. You will have a set amount of hours to do in a year and your employer will split the hours between 12 months. If you had time off u have to make the hours up. The max hours you can work is 48 any more as to be paid over time. Past few months I've been doing 48 hours a week but now I'm on 36 hours a week but still get same pay after Xmas I'll be doing 24 hours a week and still get paid. I have about 400 hours to do before April if I finish them before before 1st April I don't have to go work and I'll still get paid each month | |||

"If your contract stipulates an hourly wage then that's your hourly wage, and if it stipulates a specific number of hours a week then that's what you are legally contracted to work. If they want you to work extra hours then they need to pay you for them. If it stipulates an overall annual salary, and there is a clause that says anything regarding "additional hours or duties" then it's a more open-ended issue. It's impossible to give an accurate answer, or actionable advise, without seeing your contract. Your easiest option might just be to call Citizens Advice, get a specialist advisor on the line, and go through exactly what your contract says." Thanks,,just looking through mountains of paperwork for my contract. I do know for certain that I'm contracted for 42 hrs p/w,4 days on,4 days off,I do get overtime over that. And I have my yearly salary in writing,so that gives me an horly rate. They want to change me to 48 hrs (overtime after 48) over 5 days per week. I originally took the job specifically for the 4/4 shift pattern. I would require a new contract to change but would I be within my rights to demand the same hourly rate? i.e. higher weekly wage for the extra hours. I won't be financially worse off,just having to work longer for it. Thanks. | |||
