Pretty sure there will be a mix of full and part time staff. If I was employing staff I'd rather have part time staff than full time staff as it offers more flexibility when it comes to sick days, holidays etc. Pretty sure these days part time staff are covered by employment law regarding holidays etc as much as full time staff.

Ye my daughter told me about this job after seeing it posted on here and ive applied too. Ive got an interview on Saturday so im hopeful

At least it will be the first interview ive been offered after applying for lots of jobs so its a step in the right direction !! I did apply for full time and said id be willing to accept part time. I think the idea of more part time jobs than full is to make sure more people are in over busy times and if someone is sick then its not so many hours to cover etc but ye everyone has entitlement to holidays with pay etc

Its also to do with breaks proceedure shorter hours requires less time for break allowance than over 6 hrs per day, so thats convenient for employer in retail to keep staff on rota and more staff covering the shop floor.

I'm going to put this but don't tell Mel or she will want some rights

Employment rights of part-time workers

Part-time workers have the same statutory employment rights as any other employee. You do not have to work a minimum number of hours to qualify for employment rights.
As a part-time worker you have the right to:

receive the same rights of pay as full-time employees
not be excluded from training simply because you work part-time
receive holiday entitlement pro rata to comparable full-time workers
have any career break schemes, contractual and parental leave made available to you in the same way as for full-time workers
not be treated less favourably when workers are selected for redundancy

Was anyone successfull with this?

SarahLouise · 24-06-2010, 16:07

Ive applied for this. But i hope i get it, might be a lucky chance tho. because ive just finished school and havent got any propper work expierance. except for my two weeks work placement.
It was really confusing there application. it asked me if i was under 16 and i clicked yes. and then further on it was blabbing on about 16-24 or something. it was quite confusing.
im applying because i have a late birthday (youngest in my year) and by the time i get the job, i will be 16 and be going to blackburn college so... (if i do :/)

they have already done the interviews Sarah, if you didn't get an interview then you don't stand a chance, they did the interviews a couple of weeks ago

That's right. Our Dean had an interview on the Sunday 13th June. They said they'd send an email 2 weeks after that, which is THIS weekend...... Fingers crossed for all that have applied! xx
