I work for Puzza hut and get paid hourly. Our shift patterns are sparadic at the best of times and generally we know what we are working 6 days in advance. Today i have been txt and told not to work tommorrow as they have scheduled on to many staff, and im not needed.
Are they allowed to do this, is there a minimum period of notice im entitled too?
Also a collegue of mine recently had they time card alterded by 1.5 hours as the general manager does not think they should have finished a
as late as they did? im sure this is not right!!! we dont get paid a yearly salery we get paid by the hour, surley they cant just change them at will?

Why don't you ask them for a 'Work one day and get the other paid half price" deal?

If you work generally say 20 hours per week, then you are entitled to expect those to be able to work those same hours on a regular basis. I know that employers can reduce hours from time to time, if they have a reduction in demand from customers, but I am pretty sure that they cannot do this with such little notice. Regarding the cut in hours, if your colleague worked the extra 1.5 hours on an unauthorised basis, then Pizza Hut are entittled not to pay these hours, but if they are scheduled hours on a rota, then your colleague has a right to be paid for them.
You need to double check your employment rights with someone like Citizens Advise or similar, but it sounds to me like you are being treated unfairly.
