Dismissal is when your employer ends your employment - they don’t always have to give you notice.
We have 71 chefs out working on relief all over Scotland, 19 chefs confirmed for this week so far.
We now have a policy in place for taking new relief chefs on over the winter.
I am still waiting on a lot of current Hygiene Certificates to be sent over, you can email them over to jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk
Jade is still on annual leave and will return to work on Monday, I have been going through junior positions and the availability for bother Senior and Junior Chefs is getting better with most jobs on our list getting candidates.
If you are a junior chef and are needing help to write a good CV or just need help to tweak it please get in touch as we will be more than happy to help with this. Call 01683 222830.

Relief has remained steady, but we are expecting the work to slow down in November as expected for the time of year before picking up again in December.
If you are not working and have availability please do send a copy of your CV in and we will chase references as standard.
We can mark you available but priority is given to those who have work on placements via CIS over the summer.
For existing chefs who have done work all year round would suggest 40 – 60% chance of getting you work over the winter.
If you can also get in touch with your availability for Christmas and New year.
Maternity Leave
Statutory Maternity Leave is 52 weeks. It’s made up of:
· Ordinary Maternity Leave - first 26 weeks
· Additional Maternity Leave - last 26 weeks
You don’t have to take 52 weeks but you must take 2 weeks’ leave after your baby is born (or 4 weeks if you work in a factory).
Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) is paid for up to 39 weeks. You get:
· 90% of your average weekly earnings (before tax) for the first 6 weeks
· £145.18 or 90% of your average weekly earnings (whichever is lower) for the next 33 weeks
SMP is paid in the same way as your wages (for example monthly or weekly). Tax and National Insurance will be deducted.
Paternity Leave
You can choose to take either 1 or 2 weeks. You get the same amount of leave if your partner has a multiple birth (such as twins).
You must take your leave in one go. A week is the same amount of days that you normally work in a week - for example, a week is 2 days if you only work on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Leave for antenatal appointments
You can take unpaid leave to accompany a pregnant woman to 2 antenatal appointments if you’re:
· the baby’s father
· the expectant mother’s spouse or civil partner
· in a long-term relationship with the expectant mother
· the intended parent (if you’re having a baby through a surrogacy arrangement)
You can take up to 6 and a half hours per appointment. Your employer can choose to give you longer.
You can apply for leave immediately if you’re a permanent employee. You’ll need to have been doing a job for 12 weeks before you qualify if you’re an agency worker.
Start and end dates
Leave cannot start before the birth. It must end within 56 days of the birth.
You must give your employer 28 days’ notice if you want to change your start date.
You do not have to give a precise date when you want to take leave (for example 1 February). Instead you can give a general time, such as the day of the birth or 1 week after the birth.
