I know one company I worked for gave all the staff the smallest contracts that they could and they all did loads of overtime to make their hours up, then if employees were off sick or on holiday they only got paid on their contracted hours...sneaky!!
where i am now have started to do that,
as the paople with bigger contracts leave, they are getting replaced with small ones...
bit naughty i think
Naughty, or sensible thinking?
There are a lot of very experienced hard working woman out there, who having had children, and others male or female, who for whatever reason cannot go back to work full time, but who can go back part time.
Also it's far easier to find cover for a sick part timer than a full timer, especially when in a small work force.
Better to make full use of the available workforce than restrict yourself when you don't need too.
