Employment Law: Can your Employer change your hours and contract of work?
Bosses want to increase our hours by two per week and get rid of flexi working, carers leave and couple of extra days annual leave for long service workers. They say its due to the financial credit crunch and business reasons; apparently we're not performing and customer satisfaction is low which is fair enough, but they're being really nasty and dictatorial about it. They say they only need to set up a consultation process and they can force it through. Two girls I work with took up their positions 6 months ago with us because of terms & conditions etc. they turned down jobs closer to home - they feel very aggrieved and let down. I know we should be grateful to have jobs (I'm happy where I work) but its quite nauseating when you know that the Chief Exec got a 40% pay rise last year - and as far as I'm aware, she's not offered to give some back. Can they do this?
PS. They're letting us keep Pilates and Yoga classes (have a guess who goes to these....) what a trade off!!
Have a look at www.direct.gov.uk. Under the employment section there is an employment terms and conditions sub section, with a link for changes to employment conditions - you should find this helpful.
If the change is made through a collective agreement then it will apply to all employees. If they are seeking each employee's acceptance to changes then an employee doesn't have to accept, but be warned, in this case the employer can give you notice and then offer to re-employ on the new terms and conditions.
Good luck
