What Do I Do If My Work Don't Reply?

[abbeylee90]

I've sent the care home an email asking if I can change my days as my new job days were only available Monday yo Wednesday. What do I do they haven't replied to my email.

[abbeylee90]

I'm sure did fizzle out since they reduced my hours 

[cashier]

Full days are usually eight hours nor three or four.

If that makes you feel better, Abbey.... (and you can just ignore the reason for your hours being cut right, right back).

No new job is 3 full days

So have you called care home and made yourself clear that sadly you are only now available to continue with your Friday shift fir them. 

I hope the care home are now aware not to expect you for work on Monday. 

As I said previously this simple polite call could sort a lot of issues out. 

They would of course then have opportunity to say that they would have to let you go, but may instead accept your thoughtfulness at being upfront and keep Friday plus offer extra shift days when you may he available in future.

I'm calling them today and saying new job wants me to start Monday 

[newmodarmy]

Good.

If only you'd written a week ago to give formal notice that you could no longer do Mondays and Wednesdays so are offering your resignation although you would hope very much they could keep you on Fridays and if possible Thursdays too.

[abbeylee90]

I did email them asking to change my days last week

[newmodarmy]

Yes but you didn't formally give notice. if you'd done it this time last week then that would have been an acceptable notice period and given them some chance if getting a replacement for Monday 20th.

I only do 3 hours a day and only stairs so don't see the problem 

[THECORBYLOON]

If you change your days, someone else will need to cover those hours and if you resign, someone else will need to cover them.

 

The employer might need to employ someone else if you resign and that will take time to organize.

 

Giving proper notice gives the employer time to re-jig duties.

 

It is not straightforward.

I start my new job Monday so I can't I emailed them last no response

Abbey

at 0615 you wrote "I'm calling them (the care home) today and saying new job wants me to start Monday"

 

Have you phoned the care home yet? Time is running out and they need to know by phone TODAY ( not email as they ignore )

[abbeylee90]

The manager not in and supervisor on her lunch.

This is what I got from a careers advisor.

Based on the amount of hours being offered at the care home against the amount of hours with the cleaning role, obviously the cleaning role is going to pay you more. 

 

In relation to the care home not being able to offer you any work Thursday / Friday that is something that is outside of your control but I would still try to engage in a conversation with them to say that if I did leave for the cleaning role which is more hours than you can currently offer me would you consider me for anything on a Thursday / Friday if or when there is availability.

 

Sorry I cant be of more help but ultimately you have to look after your interests and the option that best suits you, if the care home does not work out I am sure that there are other care homes out there who will have some opportunities that meet your needs

 

[Floko]

So, based on that, keep trying to phone after their lunch is over.

[abbeylee90]

I am after 2

Got through she said come in next Friday and will speak to me then 

[Karamia]

Well done on sorting this out via phone call. Sounds like you may still keep your Fridays. Sounds like it went well. Hope the new job goes well on Monday. Enjoy your night out tonight.
