Notice of working times

Fuascailt

Hello,

Just wondering if there's any bit of law that says you have to get certain notice of when you're working, or is it at the employers discretion?

Thanks

Not sure, but check this link for your rights/entitlements regarding the Working Time Act.

17.—(1) If neither the contract of employment of the employee concerned nor any employment regulation order, registered employment agreement or collective agreement that has effect in relation to the employee specifies the normal or regular starting and finishing times of work of an employee, the employee's employer shall notify the employee, subject to subsection (3), at least 24 hours before the first day or, as the case may be, the day, in each week that he or she proposes to require the employee to work, of the times at which the employee will normally be required to start and finish work on each day, or, as the case may be, the day or days concerned, of that week.

Found it! I am I right in saying that if I'm working on a Monday morning, I need to know by Saturday night?

That would be my reading. there needs to be a full 24 hours between the days, not 24 hours between notice and start of work.
