My mate who works in the financial industry recently started a new job. On his contract it states 35 hours a week.
On his first day he had a 1-1 with his manager who said that his hours were 9am-6pm which would be 40 hours a week. Now im sure there is something in the contract which says that he may need to work more hours to meet project demands or something like that, but to be told that's what the hours will always be is a bit strange.
I should point out, nobody is complaining, and I'm certain it happens everywhere, but I am wondering how they get away with doing something like this?
