Employment rights

[Strontium]

Searching on the Internet seems to confirm that Domino's require their employees to be clean shaven, although it's not strictly enforced by all franchises.

Is this from Brass Eye?

If they insist on clean shaven drivers, they might want to update the photos on their own recruitment pages....

Fence foals and shrub rocketeers abound.

You should deliver a crisp-packet of hot piss to them in under 30 minutes

If he was making the pizzas and it was a whopper of a beard then they could say it was un hygienic and a beard snood wouldn't cover it (health and safety enforce this rule that if you aren't clean shaven you need to wear a snood).

 

They may have a policy that they don't allow delivery drivers to be cleaned shaven or not have long beards as it may come across as un hygienic.if he has agreed to this then he won't have much choice but to shave or get a new job.

Having tasted Dominos Pizzas,I'd say they would benefit from facial hair in them. After all they do already contain knob cheese.

My son started a new job last month, contracted to a high street banks. Since accepting the job he's found out that the role is a permanent night shift with no additional payment, a percentage of his earnings are creamed off by the contractor and and all holidays are unpaid. What kind of third world economy are we living in?

 

You can imagine my relief when he was offered another job at the beginning of the week.

That's pretty standard stuff for contracting/temping roles, you basically get shafted from every angle, although I've not heard of the nightshift one before.

 

Glad to hear he's got something (hopefully) better.

If the holiday is unpaid, he would get his holiday contribution to bolster his standard wages. Pretty common with recruitment agencies. But the night shift lack of uplift is bullshit. I get 30% extra for working nights

Holidays are a statutory right everyone is entitled to paid leave.

Holidays are a statutory right everyone is entitled to paid leave.

See my post. He will be getting holiday pay but it is added on top of his regular wage. For example, his rate could be say £7.50ph but he receives his annual holiday pay on top and get say £7.87ph but nothing when he takes his actual holiday

Is anyone here a professional in employment law and willing to help our a mate of mine who's just been sacked with zero notice (in contradiction to the employee handbook) in a small employer?  Just hoping to pass on an email address to the girl who's distraught

ACAS should be her first port of call.

[Lee909]

ACAS where great when the union got me to call them a few months back.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

They're spot on.

 

And they generally should be used in employment disputes anyway, as the procedure rules state that mediation should be attempted before litigation.

[Lee909]

Yeah

My lot shit themselves as soon as i involved them and the GMB. Too many people not union members or willing/able to fight issues these days

Paulie, a few things to get you prepared for ACAS meeting suggested by others.

 

• Copy of contract of employment (should show start date)
• Copy of Employee handbook: to show relevant breach
• Old payslips (to demonstrate salary and allow calculation of severance pay amount if entitled)

If they have been in continuous employment for a minimum of 2 years it is actually difficult to sack someone now without the correct procedures being followed, which this employer appears to have ignored. Do you know if she had a dismissal letter or disciplinary meeting?

 

I hope it all goes well for your mate.

Its only £2.17 a month even when not in work too. Can help benefit claimants with the vicious onslaught by the cunts in power to strip them of their right to benefits.
