Hi All,
Over the last couple of years I've seen over and over again this theme appearing that 'you only get paid what you work' and that 'if you don't work you don't get paid'.
What I haven't got my head around is if you sign a 6 month contract with a business, why many people on this forum believe that the business can simply ask you not to turn up for work and then not pay you.
Actually, I think that that the business is committed to pay you for the term of the contract, as long as you make yourself available.
What is the legal grounds for this? I've always though 'a contract is a contract, i.e. a legally binding agreement between 2 people'.
Thanks in advance.
