my daughter was told by her employer that she cant take 12 days off her work for her summer holiday as this will be on her emplyers busiest days !! even though my daughter booked this 24 weeks before and told her employer. the boss has now looked at it and decided that it wont suit her as she will be losing money! what are my daughters rights ? the boss reckons hairdressers holidays work out different from everyone else!!Are hairdressers entitled to the same holidays as everyone else?
Start here and give it to her employer without lubrication http://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/employm鈥?/a> many employers have no regard for employees rights and constantly stamp on them and say that they know more until you give them a legal enema.Are hairdressers entitled to the same holidays as everyone else?
It sucks i know.
Basically, Ive learnt as a hair stylist, we do not have much of a choice. Some times, i feel like being a slave. It's so hard for me also to get the suited time off!
This is actually a sad and important point our teachers made at cosmetology school!! and i remember, we were all so up set when heard it!! '; don't depend on your holidays'; they said!!
The reason, as you know, is that, hair stylists schedule evolves around other people's time or day offs!!
PLz, give my regards to your daughter and i feel her pain!!
Yes all none of them.
Well ask her to show you daughter the documentation that states that hairdressers holidays differ to others.
She has had plenty of notice regarding that your daughter needing the days off.
The boss has had plenty of time to tell your daughter that she wasn't going to allow her the leave.
If your boss can't give any written evidence backing her comments about hairdresssers holiday, then I would state that your daughter will be going on the holiday. If the boss threatens her with the sack if she goes on holiday, then you would have a strong case for unfair dismissal in a tribunal case.
Every employed worker is entitled by law to have a minimum four weeks holidays per year, and bank holidays must not be included as holidays.
you aren't ';entitlted'; to any holidays, there are plenty of professions that do not get any holidays off and work most weekends. An employer is not obligated to give someone time off.
If the salon where your daughter works is privately owned, the owner has the right to set holidays as she/he wishes. If he/she approved the holiday before hand and told your daughter she could go, then I think it's pretty petty of her/him to suddenly change their mind and not let her go. Salons work on a different schedule then most employers. I don't think they are mandated by state and federal law concerning which holidays they work. It's just like a store that stays open on the Fourth of July or Memorial Day, etc. They don't HAVE to close, they just do in defference to the holiday.
Everyone working in the UK is legally entitled to 4 times their working week as statutory holiday. The employer has a right to dictate when these can or can not take place.
If your daughter has previously informed the employer of these dates and boss has changed her mind then it is extremely unfair and should be raised again with the boss. Unfortunately if your daughter has been working their less than one year she may find herself without a job and no statutory protection for unfair dismissal.
What about the other staff??? Do they take holidays at this busy time?
This is true with any retail workers. The boss gets to decide when you are able to go on vacation. I think atleast Labor Day should be off for absolutely everyone, but that will never happen as there is money to be made. Holidays are the busiest for people who work for customers, usually when all employees have to work.
