I'm sure the general structure is similar everywhere right? I am required to be there Tuesday mornings and then a random hour for my one to one whenever I can book that.

I've recently got a new job. I'm so excited about it because I'm been unemployed for a year due to my mental health so actually attending an interview and getting the job was a big deal for me. I'm due to start my DBT soonish. Not sure when, next few months probably. I'm due to start my job in March.

I worried about getting this time off. I'm commuting quite  distance so realistically I'd need the whole Tuesday off due to the hours. I'm on a 18 months contact and I don't want my request for time off to put them off keeping me on. It also will cut my pay by a fifth which sucks. Do I have any rights for pay?

Just feeling so anxious about it all, I'm so happy to have got this job but I feel they aren't compatible so I don't know what to do.
