Im 20, been working part time (30hrs - 3days a week) for an autoelectrical firm for 10months now. Ive never signed a contract or any paperwork regarding work times etc. I did work full time (50hrs a week) for about 3 months before starting back at uni.

now im on a pathetic wage and getting pissed off with the job, ready for leaving but it was brought to my attention last night that i should be owed paid holidays. never had a day off other than tuesday and thursday for uni and bank holidays. Ive also been told that as i work Monday, Wednesday and Friday that the chances are i should get paid for bank holidays to, which I havent been.

Just wondering if this is true. if so how many days paid holidays am i owed for the time ive worked. Also how do i go about getting this back dated, same applies with the bank holidays?

thanks in advance

To be honest mate , you dont have many rights until you have worked for anyone for 12months , and with no contract etc your not going to get far ,,sorry mate

Without a contract, you don't really have a leg to stand on I am afraid.

However, if you can prove you have received regular wages from your employer, you may be able to do something.
If he/she paid you cash, you're on your own I am afraid

ive got all my wage slips, i get paid cash but it goes through the books etc, for some strange reason he just decides to pay me cash every week

you should be owed pay for bank holidays if you were scheduled to work that day. but without a contract stating your regular shift pattern there doesn't to be much hope im afraid!

So far as I know you are entitled to a statement of terms and conditions or contract of employment.

No one has an automatic right to paid bank holidays - that has to be laid out in the Ts and Cs. Some folk get 25 days including the 9 statutory days (or whatever number it is now).

And unless it has changed you can't go to a tribunal with less than 24m service.

You might want to make sure he has been paying your tax and NI for you. If not it is you that is hurt.

As far as I know, you can make someone redundant in the first 2 years of employment without much justification or liability.
That's with a contract, without one well...
