Thank you for your reply , this is exactly what I came here for ! Having moved to the UK little over a year ago I do not possess any information about employment laws , and sadly my partner can ' t help me with everything ! I ' ll have a talk with HR on Monday . As I said in a previous comment , I might be valued enough I could change some of the things in the contract , but am not too fond of this place to not to be able to look for another job with a better contract . As the place I work for is a small family run hotel with a restaurant I think they are only trying to meet the bare minimum they have to if even that on certain points . <| sep |> Soo many cyclists will fail right there <| sep |> Exactly bro ! This guy is 29 and couldn ' t shovel his car out of 3 feet of snow last year . It took him 3 hours and he gave up and began recreating the battle of Hoth with legos in my front yard . I was like Whaaaat TF .
