Time to tell them to off and stick their illegal slavery up their s.

No they don't need to give you a contract of employment until you've been there 13 weeks, but yes they should be paying national insurance contributions (part by them as employers and part deducted from your pay)....since they are obviously treating you as an EMPLOYEE.

Time to move on I reckon, as evidently they are more accustomed to dealing with illegals working as 'casual' labour in their premises....not people like yourself, legally permitted to work here with the same rights as any other citizen.

Be choosy about your conditions of employment and don't let people use you, even when there is a shortage of jobs.

I used to work for the Department of Employment.



Here are your rights. Don't accept anything less. :
