https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/9874/working-my-days-off hi i would appreciate some thoughts on this. I usually work part time 4 days a week. Recently tho i have been asked to fill in at our other branch on my days off without any prior notice. While this has meant cancelling plans that i had i dont mind asen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/92146?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 07 Aug 2010 20:36:58 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:6a496230-56b7-4393-8e26-01a4b7e064cdsupamog<p>hi - i am contracted to work 20 hrs a week.&nbsp; any more time worked during the day is just paid as further hours.&nbsp; Its just that i would like a day off back but then they would be short staffed at my branch as there would be no one to cover me.&nbsp; I am thinking that technically being asked to work on a day that i would not normally be going in is like being called out since i wasn&#39;t expecting it. I will have to have a root about for my contract.<img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Thinking_smiley.gif" alt="Thinking" /> Thankfully i think another pt member of staff is in the pipeline!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/92137?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 07 Aug 2010 20:07:51 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:4a2b72f7-9a66-46e6-b6df-a0d1778e69f3Sal the 1st<p>what does your contract say - ie are you contracted for x hours and any others are classed as overtime? - what are the arrangements for overtime ie is it paid or given as time in leiu</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
