last year, all the lads on the shop floor got a £30 bonus and allowed to go home at 12.30 lunchtime - the company then didn't pay them the £30 for the 4 hours of the afternoon that they would have earned had they been in.

I always stick up for whats right in my place. They try to do alot of dodgey and down right illegal things. Always get into mass arguments with my boss. Theres a company called acas (i think) that you can email or ring with and problem and they will tell you if its legal or not. Then you tell your employer and if they argue take the cunts to court
My boss has recently tried removeing our right of picking our holidays. Haha he said from now on you dont pick when you take your holidays ill tell you when your takeing them just so theres no arguments ahaha
Also paid me under minimum wage for about 4 months when i turned 18.
But thats what you get when you work for taskers. Penny pinching cunts

If it was me in charge i would have emailed around or said in the main weekly meeting something like "right we are considering closing early, does anyone want to work or is everyone happy to take it off bearing in mind you will need to take flexi"
or as its xmas would have just written the time off and told everyone to go

I agree with you Steve, seems tight of the company to do that.
Don't they realise that those last couple of hours before everyone goes off to Christmas is going to be the most unproductive couple of hours anyway?
I bet it's all just old women nattering about knitting and people constantly offering to make everyone a tea, while everyone watches the clock tick down second by second.
- Should just send you all home at 2pm and say 'Have a good Christmas'.

In that case, they should probably just hand them all out p45's for Christmas instead.

I'd be a bit pissed as well if i was in that situation, especially as it sounds like the company doesn't return the favour in being flexible themselves. They probably are breaking some law but is it worth the hassle?

we have a similar nonsense here, the last day before xmas (ie tomorrow) has to be taken as a full day holiday if you want it off but if you come in, then 9 times out of 10 the managers will dismiss everyone at lunchtime, ie unfairly penalisign those who take a full day off. we just put it with it because we arent whinging fannys

I've been off all this week (office closed yesterday for everyone) as cheekily booked it in July  I got a text from my boss yesterday saying 'Just to clarify, we aren't back in until thursday 5th January'  was expecting to be back in on the Wednesday!

I'd love my company to do that. Staying til 5pm tomorrow doesnt appeal to me in the slightest. I'd take it and forget about it til next year.
