Earlier this year I found myself out of work, my brother sorted me out a temp job to keep some money coming in, The money isn't bad, but for the work I do, and the shifts I work (nights) I don't think I'm paid enough. I discussed this with him before accepting, and he said it would be reviewed after 3 months, which came and went with no mention or anything.

I got paid on Friday, and it wasn't as much I was owed, so tonight (first chance I've had) I talked to him about this, and the pay review I was told I'd have at 3 months. At the start of the conversation I said, this is purely work related, family comes first, agree? to which he replied 'yes.' What followed was quite epic, a total bh fuelled u-turn on everything he'd agreed (which i have recorded in emails, from his company email) I told him I would discuss it at a more appropriate time (TG was on) he said then was my only chance, so I said if that was I threat, this is my notice.

He then text our parents something, which quite upset our mum, they wont tell me what the text said, but I have a feeling it was quite personal. He's also text me saying "I don't want anything to do with you. I do you a favour and this is how you repay me"

I am still working, hence why I'm on here so late, but I'm pretty stuck for idea's what to do next, besides job hunting. Are there any laws surrounding night shift allowances? I'm not wanting no family fall out, I just wish to be paid what I'm worth.

Abuse/idea's welcome.

Look for another job, your brother sounds like a dick.

As far as I know (and I'm quite happy to be shot down in flames on this) there is no legal requirement to pay a premium for working nights. If there is, I'd like to know why I'm not bloody getting one. The last couple of places I've worked at have paid different night premiums. My current employer pays a small premium to the shopfloor. The shift managers (myself included) are all on the same rate, days and nights.

Seriously, get yourself another job. It's not worth falling out with your family over work

TomKing: You sound like a dick thats not even advice, thats just a personal attack.

To the OP afraid there isnt any laws regarding night shift or even shift allowences. One of the reasons I'm leaving where I am, is I do 2 days and 2 nights, and we get nothing at all extra for doing the nights.

I've signed on in the past following redundancy. As far as I know, I've never lived in a council house and I wouldn't consider myself to be 'chav scum'

As per the previous post, you are a dick. Bit like the OP's brother.

And cheers everyone else, I have been actively looking for work since august, when i took this job in.

A bit of background, I'm fully Volvo trained in motor vehicle parts supply and distribution, meaning i can use EPC or microfische to look up and sell parts, I love my career, but finding jobs is proving difficult.

I can't shag his bird, as he is gay heheboxedin

Steady. I know a number of decent, hard working people that live in Council houses.

To the OP, I think you have found out the hard way that your brother is an untrustworthy, disloyal !

Get yourself another job ASAP, have nothing to do with him, if that's how he treats employees let alone family I would want anything to do with him.

Your brother should remember, you st on people when you climb the ladder, you are likely to meet them on the way back down again.

are you a homophobic, maybe that is part of the problem between you and your brother.
No, i'm not a homophobe, The job i do is moderation and customer support on a text chat service, which is frequented by gays, amongst other things.

We have had fallings out before, but dragging a work issue into family life is not on, imo.

And thanks, but your input is not very welcome here.

I'm hoping he has given his real name and occupation. I know a couple of senior managers at LU, I'm going to see what I can find out about this pillock of society....

(see what I did there)hehe
