Working hours, possible redution.

Post by ajdias » Thu May 31, 2018 3:35 pm

Hi,

My friend (yup, it is really someone else :D ) has been working for a year on a contract that does not stipulate the hours. He's been working full time* but has been told that his is a 0 hour contract and, if necessary his hours can be reduced. Is this possible and under what circunstances?
The company is currently preparing some cuts and it is possible that there will not be work for all the 10 people working there full time, plus a few part-timers.
My friend was advised by someone (not a lawyer nor HR specialist) that after 6 months working full time they can not reduce it beyond 30 hours week (about 130/h month). Is this true?

*By full time I mean that he has been given between 160 and 170 hours of work every month, sometimes more. There's no monthly pay, he's paid by the hour.

And now the baby comes and thai lady wants money hours are getting reduced... :twisted: sorry for being sarcastic

I believe a 0 hour contract can be a 0 hours allocation and there is nothing wrong with that one.

Actually there's much wrong with 0 hour contracts and I believe even the current right wing government is outlawing it. Your cleaver sarcarm may soon get readers asking" wtf idiot" because the thai professional lady's thread will soon be buried.

On subject, my friend sent me a email he got from TE services which confirms that the contract is now indeed a full time contract given the fact that the company has been giving workers full time hours for over a year. The email also confirms that if the company has economic reason to shorten the amount of work it needs give employees only one month notice.

I think 6 days are more than enough to get new information.

tavastia, you didn't need any help with that :D

Seriously though, thanks for replying :thumbsup: . Forums like these are quickly going the way of the carriage horse and less and less people are inputting, which is prob contagious.
