[uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
anyone know what the employment law with regard to work say ringing me today and me a) having to do work related to fixing servers and b) me possibly having to go into work on my holiday to fix things ?
note that for either of the above they have no intention of paying me.
i'd very much like to be able to tell them to 'go away i'm on holiday', but i'm not sure what my rights are.
i did find the CAB website which tells me lots about things , but nothing that seems to really help :/
My contract only mentions my hours or work (9 to 5.30), and my yearly pay, and that 'occasional' out of hours work may be necessary.
At any rate i plan on finding another job, i'd just like to be able to say 'well, legally i don't have to work, and since you arent paying me to, i'd rather not to be honest'.

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
well if your contract says occasional out of hours work may be necessary then you might *have* to go in (of course they cant make you go in, and if you intend to leave then **** em )

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
they cant make you work without pay or time off in lieu
no one can be made to work for free, we dont have slaves over here.
EDIT: sorry, and the out of hours work thing, read your contract through, it should have to be agreed in advance by both parties (essentially this means telling you that they want you to work sometime before, rather than ringing you on hte day)

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
There's a huge difference between asking you to work on a pre-arranged day off, compared with asking you to work late and/or asking you to come in at a weekend or somesuch.
If you pre-arranged the holiday, they are obliged to find some sort of cover so that your day off is a day off. There's no way they can force you to go in, and any future reference to it in a disciplinary and/or career influencing way is grounds for complaint.
If you feel you can go in, then go in and you'll be holding all the cards, but if you don't, don't feel guilty about it or feel worried.
Just because you're at home and not in Norway is luck on their part, if you were to go in.
I've had the same thing and just said 'sorry, I'm at relatives in Scotland and can't make it' other times I've been in Hampshire and driven back to London to help out.

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
well, wed thu fri this week are holiday days which everyone gets thus giving a longer christmas holiday.
so i didnt arrange it myself, but they did.
if i go in, they'll just not pay me anything for doing so, and i'll lose a day/ half a day that'd i'd rather use for other t hings , like sorting things for my holiday out of the country next week :/

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
If the company has given that holiday to everyone, and if they thought you might have to go in, then they should have asked you in advance to be effectively 'on call' and to reimburse you for any holiday time you lost by going in.
Since they haven't done this, you are under no obligation to go in, and certainly not if they won't give you time off in lieu or pay you for your time.
The only reason why this wouldn't be OK is if your contract states that you are expected to go in on demand, and that there is no obligation on the company's part to reimburse you for your time.
If your contract does state this, and you signed it, you deserve everything you get, you 'tard, heh, but I doubt you'd be daft enough to sign it, right?

i didnt actually write this into my post because i thought that no one would be a big enough ****tard to sign a contract that effectivly gives their employer control over their whole life :/

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
'I'm sorry, I've made plans that will take me away from <insert work place here> and won't be able to come in. Is there anything I can do to help over the phone?'
You show you'd like to help, but due to your prior plans, you are unable to, but if push comes to shove, you're still right there for them.
WINNAR !

I turned my phone off because my ex has been bothering me and I was out on a date with a real hot babe and I didn't want to be phoned by my ex in the middle of dinner/movie/sex.

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
I was stupid enough to give my ex my work phone number as well, even though I know I'm not supposed to give it out to people outwith the company. Please Mr Boss man don't be mad at me it's Christmas :(

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
you say:
im sorry, i turned my work phone off as it was my day off, if you had wanted me in you should have told me at least a day in advance
or somethign to that effect, tbh, it depends on your boss and how attached you are to your job and how much you want a reference

Re: [uk][grr] so i'm on holiday and my work is ringing me.
How do they know where you were, what you were doing on your day off? Say you were visiting relatives/boating/driving/water skiing/diving/helping the poor/masturbating over britney videos...its your day off you don't have to answer to your employer as to why your phone was off.
I sincerly doubt that they'd be so unreasonable as to make a huge deal out of this. It's not your obligation to go in and you were not given notice.
You think the MD,Head of Accounts or various managment would ever go in on their days off? I think not! Screw them!

Yeah, many would if they could - even just for a 'lil bit, but they get paid more than NB3 so they should have more obligation to do so!

You were in the middle of the Lake District/NW Wales/Some Remove Corner of the UK, up a f'kin mountain and well out of range of the nearest phone mast. It works.
