Should i go to work if i have to travil 5 hours there and 5 hours back unpaid?
they have rotered me in to work in exeter next week which is 5 hours traviling for me there and 5 hours back my shif will be 10 hours so that will mean i am out of the house about 20 hours and only getting paid for 10 hours work the rate is only £9 more than if i was traviling for an hour.
when i told them i am not going to do that shift they got the **** with me and told me if i didnt do it then they wouldnt give me any more work
am i right to not go or should i go where do i stand?
Answers:
Stop it now, mate,
Your kill yourself from
lack of sleep.
Sign on and look for a
better job.
Yeah if you are not making good money then i sure wouldnt stay there.
I would either move closer to work or find a different job.
Send them a copy of "Take This Job and Shove It!"
that's crazy , you should get paid for any time you put into the job
If you're having to do all that work for hardly any pay for all the time you're working, I'd say you'd better find another job.
Ten hours of travel time and not much more money? Doesn't sound like it's worth it to me. Then again, what are your other options? Can you afford to say no?
you can do the travel or quit and get another job
it is ther right to set the rate they will pay for the job
if you are not getting good money and you need to travel quet far from your family then dont do it if you really need the money the maintain you family and yourself maybe you shood do it!its your chose
start looking for another job mate
It depends on your other prospects and how urgent and great your needs are at present.
I don't know what the laws are you your country. it sounds like you're in Britain.. but I'm sure there are rules on what they can force you to do and what they can't force you to do. If they require you to travel for work.. then, in my opinion, they should be paying for your travel time. If they don't.. and don't have to.. I'd be looking for another job.. and there are jobs out there. Nobody should be treated like that. I've left a few jobs because of the way the company treated me. I'm worth more than a kick in the ***. so are you. If you're not happy with it.. the way they are treating you. the hours.. either stick it out and find something else while you're still there (it's some times easier to find work when you're already working) or, quit and start searching.
DO NOT tell them in your interview why you're quitting or why you quit. think of something more acceptable such as. you need a job with less travel and more opportunity. or . you need a position closer to home so you can be nearer your aging parents.. something like that.
GOOD LUCK
If you really like the job, and think you would want to stay at that company, then stay. If you don't, then leave. Trust me, there are a lot of jobs out there, and not all of them require you to travel 5 hours unpaid. I would leave, if it was my choice. Find another job.
hell no if u are not making good money all trail that much is not good
I would check with the govenment and "labour" laws. This seems like a very unreasonable request. It sounds like you should be entitled to hotel stay plus meals as well as travel. I would talk with the president of your union. if you aren't unionized, I would really consider a job change.
start looking for a new job and fast.
and till then you can always use the travel time to learn a new skill or read some self help books.
Think positive and try to make the best of a rather nasty situaton, you never knows it might just work out for you.
I can understand how hard it is to find a respectful job but if it takes you ten hours a day and sometimes it is unpaid then you should reconcider working there and find something that it better suited for you. Have you concidered working at temp agencies or cashier work? There is always a place that is hiring. There are also transportation and airport companies that are always hiring.
I don't even think that is legal. Even if it is and you do it ; shame on them and shame on you.
I would check with the state labor board.
find a new job there taking u for a ride
What would really worry me is having just 4 hours at home before you have to go back to work. That's really taking the p*ss. They would have to be paying mega bucks to make that worthwhile. Tell them to stuff their job.
If you feel that you are underpaid, its your right not to go. Unless, you are paid in accordance with the wages set by the national or local government in your area, including all overtime rate.
