Question

i am doing work placement at a care home, and i really like it and someone was saying do part time and cover for other peoples shift's??? does that mean i get paid for covering other that persons shift????

Answer 1

Yes it does. You speak to the the Manager and they will be able to add you to the books if you get through the application process.

Answer 2

Yes you go in just like on your regular shift, and get paid. If you work over 40 hours a week, you get paid time and a half.

Answer 3

Well you could get employed by them around your hours of college, which means then that you can earn some money whilst covering people's shifts.

Answer 4

yes, you should get paid for any & all hours you do whether its covering another persons shift or sick/holiday cover. failing that you are entitled to time off in lou of extra hours done.

Answer 5

On salaried staff I did not in spite of extra hours put in dude to terms agreed with the union. Then I found out different and kicked up a fuss. The extra I got was nothing like the hours I put in, but there you go I saved my sick colleagues job

Answer 6

The most I ever manged in 9 hours of driving was 450 miles (early morning start on a Sunday and very little traffic). That kind of distance is very rare, though, due to traffic, roadworks, accidents, breakdowns, tyre problems, etc, etc, etc. Most long distance lorry drivers on the U.K. will average around 100,000 miles a year, just doing their job.

Answer 7

Yes if you're getting paid on a hourly wage.

Answer 8

If not, don't do it! They should pay you if you're there as staff, volunteering is different, you're an extra, on top of the people they need to do the work.

Answer 9

Of course, you are doing overtime because someone else is not available.

Answer 10

Yes dear, you r working the other person is not...
