    I work from home so work through my break, the office has a shutdown 30 mins so they do 32.5

    Really? So dropping 2.5 hours a week over 52 weeks is more than 150? Don't think so

    Some Advice

    Because its a salary based job and contract states that additional hours may be required for certain tasks. And because I would rather a job was done properly rather than rushed and possibly needing doing a second time I put the hours in. It's having pride in the work you do, not being a mug

    Some Advice

    Thank you, this is what I thought would be the outcome and what all of you have been saying. For me it's not a massive issue as I do unpaid overtime anyways, but I think for others it will feel like a pay decrease as more hours for same pay, and can imagine productivity will go down.

    Some Advice

    Yeh they don't expect people to make up the time from previous years, just starting from Monday they have to do the additional 30 mins, which still isn't correct as everyone in the office gets 30 min unpaid break, so will actually take it from 32.5-35 hours but again, that concept has escaped...

    Completely agree, and is was pointed out to them several times, but they just said those are the hours it's always been so must be right.

    Some Advice

    I think this is more the issue than pay etc, like if they are happy to just change this, which 30 mins a day is neither here nor there as jobs are always done, then what else might they change in the future without thought

    Some Advice

    It was only noticed because when 1 employee was asked to work from home they asked if they could do 10-5, this then highlighted it was only 35 hours so everyone was offered the option of doing an extra 30 mins a day or taking a 2.5 hour a week pay cut, that was the only option. Finances are OK...

    Some Advice

    For me it's not a massive deal either way as I tend to do way more than 37.5 most weeks as I do a lot of work from home, although with an already low wage it does feel a bit rubbish and like a pay decrease, as we were all told in interview over the time the company has been running the hours are...

    Some Advice

    Love that you assume my employer is a he :rolleyes: The office is only open 9-4 so they have been aware that staff have only been doing 35 hours a week, and as for owing them time...I do work more than 150 hours a year unpaid overtime at home as my role allows me to do my work at home, but...

    Dogs

    I agree with the fact there should be more checks done on dog owners, breeders is already a licenced thing, although it is abused but it would be no matter what you do. I think destroying the animal is wrong, it can easily be rehomed to someone that is after an older dog. But if it applied to...

    Some Advice

    Hi, I haven't been on here in a while as I haven't really had much to do with computers in the last few years. I do remember you all being really good at advice though, so I thought I would get your opinion on something. So I have been working at a company for 4 years, it has always been 9-4...

    Starting Issue

    The outside of the EGR looks very clean so I think it might be fairly new although there was no receipt with it for that when I purchased the car so might not be new. I was planning on removing it at some point soon to see if the inlet manifold needed a clean as apparently these are prone to...
