Started a new job nearly 2 months ago now, extremely shitty hours, basically midnight to afternoon.
When I was in the interview, He said something along the lines of ‘so this is what we will start you on and after a few weeks if we like you’ll, we’ll look after you and give you this’. I can understand a lower starter ‘trial’ rate type thing so I took it.
He wrote both of those figures down on a piece of paper that I never got, but I took the job purely for the promised figure, (it’s only £1 an hour more but.. over 50 hours.. that’s an extra £50 right.. thats more than a weeks food shop. It’s small but a huge QOL increase.
Anyway, today I only just got emailed a kind of crappy contract of employment, and to my sadness it has that started rate locked into it with no mention of the promised higher rate.
The boss never actually shows his face around this place, and I have no idea who I should even bring this up to, because of my hours I’m alone for most of my shift. Someone else is only there to give or take my keys. There are a few people around in the morning but they’re super busy and not the type of staff who’s issue this is anyway.
Do i just text the boss ? I have his mobile number. Like i do like this job, But there is such a huggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeee employment crisis in this industry in my area and I could find another job tomorrow if I wanted, one that pays what he promised me.
