  • Contracts don’t match the hours people work

    Do shift managers work the same number they are contracted for at Burger King?

    People work a lot more hours than they’re contracted for

    How we know this

    77% of people report working 8 hours or more than they’re contracted for each week

    Based on information from 13 job reviews

    Why this matters

    At a good job, you should expect to work about the same number of hours that your contract guarantees you, most of the time.

    It’s useful to pick up or drop a few shifts here and there, but if you often work a lot more hours every week than you’re contracted for, a good job should guarantee them.

    This means you’re more likely to know when you’ll be working and how much you’ll earn in advance.

    Based on information from 13 job reviews

    Why this matters

    If your manager is often changing your shifts at short notice that’s a sign of poor planning. At a good job you won’t be messed around at the last minute.

    Based on information from 13 job reviews

    Why this matters

    This makes it easy for you to plan the rest of life, as well as your finances, because you know how much you’ll be working and when.
