i have been appointed as secretary to the managing trustee of a well-known group of schools. i have not received any offer letter or appointment letter till date. the managing trustee told me to prepare one and he would then sign it. it is on plain paper and is not well defined. also, i will be on probation for 3 years after which i wil be a confirmed employee. my profile is not defined, i am made to go to the store room to check stock, serve refreshments to guests and the trustee, even change battery cells etc which an office boy is supposed to do. there is no office boy since day one. also, he sends me to his cloth shop sometimes to do work there.
i want to know is this ok and am i being exploited. and what my rights are. my boss says this is all part of my job and also expects me to work 9 and a half hours daily from mon to sat . he calls me to work on sundays also sometimes. he has made it clear that he may call me to work a couple of hours early and i may have to stay back late also if needed.
from what i can see i am the only one doing all the work and have no rights whatsoever.
pl advise as to whether i should stay on or leave as i am quite unhappy with this job
thanks

well 3 years of probation is too long. But laws donot have any guidelines. hoursof work are definied, If you are not happy the best thing is to change n move over where u will be more comfortable

Please leave your job immediately and I won’t say that you need to wait until you get new one as your current situation even never allow me to ask you or suggest you to wait for more days.
By the way, from how many months you are working there.
Second, they cannot hold you for 3 years on probation. However, the thing what I do not understand is how you can accept these terms and why you joined them if the same was cleared to you, why?. As you, do not have any appointed latter or any set employment terms you can leave the job the second day after getting salary by informing your BOSS that you are not willing to continue and also I suggest you to please express yourself with all the things nicely that you have experienced here. By doing this you would also do a favor to the person who will be the new employee or gonna work under him
