Hi, I know that title is a little contrived, however I'm stuck in a bit of a rut.
I recently quit working in a restaurant (no contract signed) and asked for any remaining pay (incl. holiday). The owner got back to me stating that as I didnt give enough notice, I'm not entitled to my holiday pay or tronc (service charge). I don't really know much about workers rights, but this to me doesnt seem right.
As mentioned, this place doesn't provide contracts to new employees, nor is there a handbook stating employment terms and conditions. He also stated that part time employees must give a set amount of notice;
firstly, when I started I was working 35+ hours a week and only recently had my hours lowered due to disagreements with the manager.
secondly, without a contract, is the full-time/part time label valid?
Thirdly, if no contract is signed stating amount of notice required, can I be penalised for not giving enough?
Sorry if this is a bit all over the place, I'm not very good with words. Any help would be great!
Thanks
