If you left their employment and then became re-employed by them 3 months later it is a seperate contract of employment. The rate you are due is the rate agreed when you became employed second time around. Did they give you any sort of written job offer, stating rates etc.?
Without a written contract what is known as "practice and custom" applies (although any legal entitlements i.e. minimum wage, holidays, sick pay cannot be excluded). This basically means that if something happened regularly and you didn't protest, it was an agreed part of your contract. This might mean that you took the post every night or cleaned the boss's car on a Friday, but also means that if you were paid £x.xx per hour, every week and never complained, then that's what your agreed pay was.
Hope that helps!

Afraid not. Your return was a fresh employment arrangement at whatever you agreed to at the time. Whether you had a written contract or not makes no difference, the fact that they they offered you a job, you accepted and turned up for work, for which you were paid, makes a contract in itself.
Any previous period of employment is nothing to do with the present period.

Fresh Contract of employment fresh terms. They should have given you a contract stating basic terms but in UK these are almost useless because employers can change them as often as they like and your only course is to tell to place the job where the sun don't shine
