When you think its all going well,why does something always ruin things ?
Hubby came in on friday and announced his company are now not renewing his contract,well they can but the hours will drop to part time or casual.
They said this to all the guys who had trial period
Its their way,that by doing 3 month contracts,they can cover their own backs incase of work shortage,and dont have to give anyone sick pay.holidays etc
Which is a bummer to us,as his work permit is made out to the company,and for 2 yrs
Might not be any work in 3 months,so cant see it going for 2 yrs
Right now Aluminium joiner is on ltss list and with 2 yrs experience,what we had planned for,to apply for pr,in 2 yrs time
His other trade,solid plasterer is in ltss but requires level 4 ,which he doesnt have,but did have 2 yrs experience at this
Im getting bit worried now,as starting to feel settled as im enjoying my wee job,and kids settling nicely(well teen would go back tomorrow if had chance)
Its maddening as only the other week the boss is saying to him,oh dont worry about work,theres plenty to come
The only other thing is,they gave Colin a contract to give immigration,saying he had job for a year
After Colin gets the permit,they said he was on a 3 month probation ,but no worries,just formality
Can he now pull out,would immigration not blame him,as its him not keeping to his end of deal,not Colin
Has anybody else came across this kind thing?
