  • Hi thank you Beagles. You saved my life. I'm returning for more advice

    Hello Dear Beagles,

    A few years ago you literally saved my life with your advice and non-judgemental love and support.
    I am back to ask some questions which may help others as well as myself regarding employment rights.

      Re: Hi thank you Beagles. You saved my life. I'm returning for more advice

      I am domiciliary care worker on zero hours contract. I work many, many hours unpaid because the time allocated and paid for by social services is inadequate. I am wondering if there might be a legal case to prosecute the agency/social services for paying BELOW minimum wage? For example, today I visited a client and was paid for A 30 minute call but had to stay there for two hours otherwise the client would have been in left in pain, distress and covered in excrement. The office was informed I couldn't leave. My argument is, if I am paid minimum wage for half an hours work and end up having to work for two hours, surely I am not being paid the minimum wage. Has anyone ever looked at this legal loophole into the injustices of zero hours contracting with regards to health care workers?
