Right, sorry if I ramble on a bit but I really need your opinions!
I started a job as a therapist in the middle of December, the company said we'll put you on a 0 hour contract (ad hoc) because we won't have much work for you through January but then at the end of January we should be able to offer you regular hours and change your contract!
I looked forward to this day as i was looking forward to working for a good company with good training prospects etc and didn't mind working part time but the idea was to gradually build up the hours to full time (they knew I needed at least 16 hours a week and wanted to be full time by the end of this year)
So I basically worked every second I could between Xmas and new year but then POOF no hours through out January (expected at least a few but thought I'd ride it out anyway)
So the end of January came and they gave me loads of random hours for feb and march (no set days) BRILL I thought! Untill they started ringing me the night before most shifts and sometimes that morning when I'm already dressed for work, saying they don't need me, there's no clients for me etc.. So yesterday I rang up and said I wouldn't be working there anymore ( I've been offered a part time job with regular hours going to full time in September when someone leaves for uni yay!) in my contract (which is still 0 hours) it says I can do this without working any notice blah blah blah. But they said 'no you can't do this to us we need you to work notice we've booked you for holiday cover up to September blah blah blah and said they would deduct from my wages if I left without working 2weeks notice! I'm supposed to start with my new place on Saturday!!!
I probably already know the answer but what should I do?!?! Xxxx love you guys I know you'll help me xxxxx
