I have a temp contract that is dated till wednesday next week and I've been told I will get a letter in the post as to whether I'm being kept on or not. But I've received nothing and nothing is forthcoming from any managers. What are my rights if my contract date comes and goes with no letter informing me ?

As far as temporary contracts go, you have no rights in regards to seeking a change to the duration of it to being permanent (this is slightly different if the duration of employment is more than 2 years however) . However while you're in the duration of your contract, you have the same employment rights as the other permanent staff (statutory pro ratad holidays, minimum wage, protection against discrimination etc).

On Temporary contracts an end date is given on the actual paper contract, so unless the temporary colleagues are told otherwise and given a new contract, they will finish on the date stated on the paper contract.
Not only that they would/should have been told when they started verbally how long the contract is for.
Therefore meeting the timeframes given.

The quote from Yogurt is for permanent colleagues or if the company decide to end the temporary contract early.
If the company ends the temporary colleagues early then those timeframes are used.

So as freebird has been given an end date already, they will finish on Wednesday unless told that they have been extended temporarily or made permanent.

If you have heard nothing about staying on then you are not staying on unfortunately.

As for rights, You dont have any what you do have is an end date for the contract of employment.

I can remember my tesco employment began with being a temp xmas seasonal worker. How much different my life would have been now if they didn't decide keep me on🤦

thanks for all replies

. Update Wednesday is here! as of 12am my contract ended and still no word. I've been told I have a job if I want it offered to me by my manager , then told as far as my manager is aware from the office I have a job, then told a letter was in the post to me ... still not received then told theyre 'making up' the permanent contracts for temporary staff ..... then told if my temporary contract end date has expired and they haven't said anything that I do indeed have a permanent job but that I don't get a contract! How do I apart from wages obviously ... prove on paper I work for Tesco, re holidays, terms and conditions if they do not give me a contract? I'm confused by what I'm being told and still no further along. I cant even check on my Our Tesco site because its not allowing me on there anymore and the email they give for password issues is obviously wrong one!

An employment contract is a legal document required to undertake work as an employee. If they're suggesting that you work without a contract, refuse. Apart from the contract providing you with legal protection, it's also evidence that you are owed money whilst under the duration of it provided you comply with the terms and conditions which make up part of the contract.

Working without a contract opens you to all sorts of unscrupulous misconduct, none of which are beneath Tesco.

not strictly correct in so far as you will not be working with no contract even if yours has run out. Even if the contract has expired Tesco are still bound by the terms you do not need to have signed a contract to be deemed to have one so if they allow you to carry on working you will still be on a contract of some description, My opinion would be there will be one down for you soon enough.

Legally speaking you dont need a written contract. The fact you report to work, and Tesco gives you tasks to complete every shift rather than asking you to leave the building implies you are contracted to work for them.

Obviously in the event of any dispute it's far easier to challenge if you have a signed contract however it's fairly easy to search on Our Tesco for standard terms and conditions

Are temps not issued with clock cards? If you still have one, then use it as proof of hours worked. Are you on the rota for upcoming shifts?

I find it somewhat lapsidasical, that you are unsure if you are still employed, and a letter of notice either way, has yet to be received. You are being advised to continue to show up for work? If you don't know if you still work for tesco, if other colleagues don't know either, and it turns out you're not, what are the ramifications with regard legal and H&S

Once someone's contract is terminated the clock card no longer registers on the HRAM system. The clock machine will still bleep, etc but the information won't be picked up.
