I work as a charge-hand, regularly working a 42-hour week including three hours’ overtime. I am also paid £6 a week as a first-aider.

However my holiday pay recently was for the basic 39 hours:

I live with my partner and work for him as well. I have two small children, while his two daughters have left home. I have a 20 per cent share in our house.

I work Mondays and Saturdays at a local shop, and am obliged to cover when other staff are away. Because bank holidays are always on a Monday I always have to do them. What rate of pay should I expect for this?

My son-in-law died recently. I understand that my grand-daughter may be entitled to her father’s share of the estate left by her paternal grandfather when he dies.

When I moved into my partner’s house we had it valued and I bought a half share, paying off his mortgage and becoming tenants in common.
