what rights do i have as an employee when the place of work
Question Posted Thursday May 25 2006, 12:13 pm
I am a restaurant manager and personal licence holder. the restaurant is changing ownership and i have been given no written notice and the new employer wont tell me his plans. I am also working 80 to 90 hours a week as the owner is at his other restaurant and i have to be there to open close and cash up, I am the only first aider and hold a personnal licence for supervising the premises so do it because i have no choice. I have increased turnover by £100,000 am praised by all the customers but the owner tells people he is selling because the trade is not good because of me yet and he has given the new employer a kind of apraisal on each member of staff and in mine it does not give a good opinion. No one has seen these only me and i found by mistake. The owner has also given the new employer a list of holiday owing and my says i have none when i have only had 9 days in 15 months and have just done 9 weeks without a day off working 10 AM to 1 AM sometimes later with no extra money. I have records of every working day since i started. Please someone tell me where i stand. Many thanks Richard Hudson.
That way the new owner has that info in addition to what the old owners opinion. I would think your obvious loyalty to the restaurant would carry some weight with the new owner. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
