I'm on timesheets, what are my rights?
Can anyone tell me what the legal difference is between time sheets and salaried annual pay? I am the only one in my office who has to fill in a time sheet every week; everyone else is on a salary. Does this mean that my notice is different? I know I have the same holiday as everyone else but I keep thinking that I'm not important enough or good enough to go onto salary

There is no legal reason to assume that you're on different terms and conditions to others simply because you are paid differently. What matters is what your contract says - do you have a written contract? If so, that should set out your notice entitlement and other entitlements. If you don't have a written contract, then you're entitled to ask for one, setting out your basic terms of employment such as holiday, notice, sick pay etc.
If you find that you're on worse terms than everyone else, then I do think you're entitled to ask why that is. If it is, for example, a difference based on sex, then you may have equal pay or discrimination arguments.
