    Hi, I have been working for a company for 18 months. I have had no contract, but I have been working on average of 40 hours per week. When I started with them, I said I needed minimum 30 hours per week. Recently they asked me to sign a contract saying I would be getting minimum 25 hours per week. I told them I would have to think about it.

    I believe that I read that if I had been working for a period of time for 39 hours, that they could not reduce my hours, unless needed to because the business no longer required me for that many hours. In the past 18 months, they have hired maybe 12 more people to do the same work as me. My understanding-which may be wrong, is that if they have to give me my 39 hours of work, before they give hours to newer employees. I would be perfectly happy with a 35 hour contract, but 25 hours would not meet my financial needs.

    If anyone can point me to my rights regarding this, it would be appreciated. I believe I saw it on citizens rights or some similar site, where it stated that I was basically entitled to the average amount of hours I had worked over x amount of time, as long as there was a role for me, and they could not bring in someone else and give them some of my hours.

    If I omitted anything, then please feel free to ask and I will fill it in. Thank you in advance.
