As I believe it, I won't get paro or ayuda if I leave so am I simply stuck there?!
My (indefinite) contract was originally for 18hours and I signed an amplification in June to 40 hours but I am studying as well and my hours were meant to be reduced again to 18 so at the moment I am absolutely at my wits end. Tired from overwork as I effectively have no days off now, and fed up with working in an environment where I am so obviously not wanted.
On a separate note they do pay all commission in black and flout a number of other laws, I was thinking of threatening to denounce them but I have no idea of the best course of action. I am looking for any help or suggestions. Is it worth seeking legal advice? I don't think he's broken the terms of my contract...

Hi Dona

I really do sympathise with you here - it must be awful for you, and its so wrong!

I would really go straight to an employment Lawyer for advice. A lot of Lawyers dont specialise in employment Law, so make sure you choose one that does. I did have a link to a wensite specifically for this I need to go and look to see if I hung on to it. If I find it I will post it on here for you.

For the moment, and whilst you are seeking advice, dont be tempted to walk! as you say if you do that you could lose all your cards ... and at the moment you need to hang on!
