Hey all,

Just wondering what the legal side of the following is:

Say your boss goes on a family vacation for 2 weeks or so and closes up the business, therefore your out of work for those two weeks.

Are you entitled to get paid throughout those two weeks even though your available to work?

Also what if you were never given a contract of employment? Does it matter if you work in a small business?

Can your boss change your hours without you agreeing on them? Or is it a "either work those hours or get out"?

Just wondering,
Cheers!
