Thanks for all the advice...I have been told any monies owed to me are being sorted out by the shops accountant and should be able to pick them up next Saturday 29th so will post up after this .....

Thanks for that. but as my contract was just by word of mouth I was under the impression that I would be paid the 12 hours. Not that it makes a difference now as I have resigned today due to the accusation of theft, I do not need this hassle .

I have been told that if I hand in my resignation I will receive the monies owed to me and there will be no "nastyness" ?????????? I am at a loss

Ah that went well. I put forward my case about the lack of holiday pay to be confronted with an allegation of theft from CCTV footage from June, showing me putting approx £5:00 worth of stationary in my bag. I did pay for it but was told that the CCTV cannot confirm this. As you can imagine I left the shop with the "I am going to report you to the Police" ringing in my ears. This has definitely left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I am now at home awaiting a call from the police !!!! I know this is probably the wrong thing to do but I could not stand there and be accused of theft.

I do not have normal hours or days I work. I am given my working hours on a Sunday night for the following week. Initially I was told the "part time hours" would be a minimum of 12 per week , but in the 13 weeks prior to my holiday I averaged 24.5 hours per week. I am not even getting paid the 12 hours a week holiday pay !!!

Not sure as I have no contract or ts&cs will find out later this week.

Having been made redundant for the first time in over 38 years, I decided to take on a part time job in a Newsagents on minimum wage, this was Jan 2016. The job offer was for 12 hours a week, as and when required with more hours on offer. All was fine, I requested a holiday for a week in March, was paid 12 hours holiday pay. Since starting I have never done 12 hours always 13 or more. I requested 2 weeks off in Oct and was told I would receive my holiday pay on return. Due to staff shortages I had been doing on average 22 hours a week over the previous 12 weeks. On return I received 18 hours holiday pay. I was expecting at least 24 hours pay as I'm on a minimum of 12 hrs a week. On querying this I was told that since March (why March!) I had accrued only 30 hours holiday pay (60 hours a year). 12h from 30h is 18h. I was told I had been paid for all my extra hours worked so this does not count. As I started in Jan surely I have accrued 45 hours. On looking at the Acas and Gov websites I am not sure of what category I'm in but feel I am being duped? To ad insult to injury I have not received Particulars of Employment or Contract for the post so am finding it difficult to state my case. Any comments or replies? Please
