Are you in ‘precarious work’?

/ Alan

We are trying to find out about issues affecting people who are in ‘precarious work’, such as zero-hour contracts or any other job where the amount of regular work, and therefore the amount of income, is not guaranteed.

If you, or someone you know, is in this situation please consider completing this survey. Your responses will help us to create information that may help others in this type of work.

The survey has produced with Warwick University as part of a Public Legal Education project.

You can complete the survey at https://harry.sn/work.

Thank you for your help.

Telephone advice changes

/ Alan

Due to staff shortages, we have changed the operating times of our Adviceline (024 7652 1101). From Monday 18th July 2022, advice will be available by telephone on:

  • Tuesday: 1.30pm to 4.30pm
  • Wednesday: 9.30am to 12.30pm
  • Friday: 9.30 am to 12.30pm

Although this change represents a reduction in the days we are available by phone, we hope to have more advisers on the line each time.

Don’t forget that you can send an advice enquiry any time using our online form.

Thank you for your understanding.

Advice service update

/ Alan

From Monday 25th April 2022, our opening times for telephone advice are changing. The new times are:

  • Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 9.30 am to 12.30 pm
  • Tuesday: 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm
  • Thursday, Saturday & Sunday: Advice line is closed (but you can still send an online enquiry at any time).

When you call, our advisers will try to help with your query straightaway if they can. Sometimes they may need to look into matters further and call you back, or they may need to see you in person. Sometimes we may not be the best service for you and they will give you information about other ways you can get help. Please be assured, we always aim to do our very best to help resolve the problem you are having.
