The Truth Of The Matter As It Applies To » Employment Law Shift Change
My work schedule was consistant for over one year then it was changed. Is there a law that protects....?
is there a law that protects my availability and scheduling to remain in it's consistency to reflect what it has been for a year straight?
My work schedule was always 8-4:30 with optional overtime. I have been working this for over a year and without knowledge my job just switched my hours. i have informed my job i am not available to be scheduled for other hours but they schedule me other shifts anyhow. I am curious if there is some kind of law protecting the consistency of my work schedule. I am a single mother with two children and jumping my work schedule around is getting tiring.
Another question. I have been with the company for over 6 years and on my application for employment my availability specifically states i am available from 8-5 mon through sat. for 4 years they did not abide by that no matter how much complaining i did. They complied with me for a year of 8-4:30 shifts and now they are changing it again? Anyone have any solid advice with proper knowledge?
No there's no law protecting your schedule. Companies can change your schedule however they see fit. If you work under a union there may be a claus dealing with seniority and scheduling which would offer you a way to keep closure to the schedule you had (if you had seniority)
Really the only thing you could do is find work elsewhere. Again, they are allowed to schedule as the see fit there are no laws granting employees the rights to certain schedules and no laws saying that employers need to abide by the availability times provided on an application. Sorry that's just the way it goes.
