Recommended Posts

bit of info please people,an employee collapsed and died at work today with me (very sad as i knew him,late 50's,possible heart attack) we were sent home today early and have been told the factory is closed tomorrow (iassume police health and safety etc.....)

 

its not a very nice thing to think of,but as im on short time etc... and moneys are tight,will i get paid for the factory closure due to the circumctances?

sorry to hear that :( deffo not nice. I would like to think the factory will pay you as they are choosing to close. However i have heard of places that will close and not pay their employees. I know you wont want to due to the circumstances, but maybe better asking them if you will gt paid :)

my work close on easter sunday etc. You HAVE to take a holiday, or shift swap or you don't get paid.

 

Bongo, hard times mate, but you answer isnt here :unsure: , sure your boss won't mind you asking in the circumstances

I'm not sure I could bring myself to ask under the circumstances. However, I would assume that I'd get paid if I was sent home.

thats it sid, i dont want to ask,i guess someone will know on wednesday,just asked on here because maybe somebody else has experienced this situation.

 

thanks.

I'm a bit torn about this thread.

 

Is the amount you get paid for one days work worth being hated by everyone at your workplace?

 

Personally I would assume that you weren't getting paid, then you might get a nice surprise when your pay cheque comes.

 

Ill bet you everyones thinking the same thing though.

bosses held a meeting this morning to inform everyone about the circumstances and that we will get paid for the hours we were out of work,on a sad note moral was low today, and it seemed very quiet in work,as he was a lively character and will be sadly missed.

 

thanks for peoples input.
