The branch isn't in finchley My contract clearly states that i am to work 12 hours a week and any additional hours are voluntary. The word VOLUNTARY is clearly stated. To update i went in there today to tell them and my line manager wasn't there, who apparently i need to speak to about it. HR told me i should be able to change but won't know till friday when i work next. It's annoyed me though, i've worked 24 hours this week when i should have only worked half that, they've just expected me to. I just hope i can get this sorted, cause not only have they made me do over the hours, but they've also made me do different hours to what is on my contract. I know this is to do with training with my line manager but it's been suited to her hours and it's not necessarily been convenient for me, especially as they've made them earlier so i have to rush home from school and then rush to work with no dinner.

I've just started at sainsburys. I'm only 17 and in the middle of my AS levels so this is a really stressful time. I'm contracted for 12 hours a week. However, for the next following weeks they've put me down for doing over this, especially next week as i've been put down for 19 hours. I really need the time to revise and didn't agree to this, but they tell me for my first few weeks i won't be working my contracted hours. Are they allowed to do this? After my exams i wouldn't mind so much, but this is smack bang in the middle of it and i really don't want my exams to suffer if there's something i can do about it.
