Re: Employment terms contracts?

That's what the swines want you to think, but there's always alternatives.
Although your workplace may not (yet?) have a recognised trade union, there's nothing preventing you from joining one and...

Re: Employment terms contracts?

Presumably you get paid for the bank holidays as well?

If not your employer is breaking employment law.

Minimum paid holiday in UK is 28 days.

Re: Employment terms contracts?

Which is why the gig economy exists and is increasing.

Re: Win10 1903

Chrome devices have 6.5 years of auto updates starting from when they first go on sale.
"Ubuntu on win7"..... Was this a VM? A VM is always going to be clunky.
Wipe Windows, use Linux instead.

Daft idea.

Win to MT
