Can anyone give me an answer on this please? I have just started work for a small Construction/Professional Cleaning company. We provide construction and cleaning staff to the airports. As you might guess, work is very slow and on some days, we may not have any work for the staff. My question is, how much notice do we have to give? Because the staff work in shifts, we may not know until an hour or even less before the shift starts, that we don’t have work for them. Do we, in that case, have to pay them for a day’s work even though they’ve done none? We have a clause in our conracts about layoffs which says that the Company reserves the right to temporarily lay off staff without pay or to reduce normal working hours and/or days. The contract was supposedly drawn up by a professional so I assume it’s OK but can anyone confirm this?
Many thanks.
