Best Answer:
Go above his head, explain it his boss...who is your boss...but its gonna piss him bad.
You have none. Conform or get a new assignment.
There's nothing you can do, look for another available job. Did you explain to him about your son? It happens all the time, it come about to me and it happen to my wife. We had 8 kids and we both had to work so we did what we have to do. You deal with it and when the right time comes about you amendment your shift.
is there anyone high then him that u can talk to about this? Maybe someone that you know that have been there longer? Unfortunately its not illegal to adjust someones hours, but if you have been there for almost 4 yrs u should enjoy a say in this and u need to give somebody a lift it up with the superiors. Go over his head if u have to
The wording of your question makes me think you are contained by the UK? In the USA the term redundant isn't used, we would say terminated or laid off. I do not know UK directive, but I am a former director of HR and if the need of the company changes (in the USA) and they determine that you are needed a certain day/time that you are not not available for or not feeling like to be available for, then they have the right to terminate you. So sorry to say aloud that. You have a few choices. 1. Try to be considerate and nice but have a heart to heart with the boss. Maybe in attendance is a way you can transfer to another department or cut hours back at lowest possible so you can be home on time to see your little one. 2. You can give notice and confer on, but jobs are hard to come by and I worry that you obligation the income. 3. You can begin looking for something else and put up with this change within hours and as soon as you find something else, then leave. But, no matter what you do, don't burn the bridge at the back you. Be of good spirits and positive when you deal with the different manager and impress this person that maybe you are worth making a few change for. Good luck.
Can he legally do this? Yes. Do you have to adopt this? No. Talk to him. If that doesn't work, talk to his supervisor. If that doesn't work, tell them that you will have to find another brief with better hours. Hopefully, your work is so good that they will not want to lose you.
no rights, except to quit. That is called 'needs of the business' they are not abusing you or anything.
he is your employer so he can change your hours but you should talk to him about the problems you enjoy with the new hours.
You hold the right to stop working there. Having a child does not entitle you to special treatment. I would advise you talk to the human resources department of your company, or put within your two weeks notice.
No rights, he is allowing you to keep your job if you perform the mandatory duties. You will no longer be able to perform what the job requires so you must quit, but I qould reach a deal to your boss and tell him your situation. Tell him that you understand why he changed the hours but that you simply can't work them, and ask if because you have be so loyal to the complany if he will write you a letter of reccommendation. A letter is very dutiful during a recession. Make sure you QUIT and don't get FIRED.
You have the right to agree to your employer know what hours you have available to work. You have the right to choose what work you want to do and nobody can force you to do anything you don't wanna do. Your employer had set positive hours that he/she feels needed and if those hours you cannot work then you must let them know and see if they can work you the hours that you are available for you also inevitability time with your child. For further advice you can contact an attorney in your nouns. God Bless You!
unfortunately sweetheart, you pretty much screwed, find a new opening... seems like this guy is demanding jerk anyway.... you don't wanna stay near
If the empoloyer is varying everyone's hours then the only thing you can do is find another post. I havent seen my husband or baby in what seem like forever because by the time they are coming home im going to work and when i get home everyone is asleep, it sucks but im glad i have a duty.
have you tried to explain to your boss why you dont like this? You can try but if it doesnt work then youll enjoy to adjust somehow. your boss has the right to change your hrs no matter what.
If you have a contract of employment, enjoy someone with legal knowledge own a read through. There may be a part which states your working hours and your managers rights on weather he may alter them or not at any given time. He does not instantly have the right to rework your hours if thats the case.
Have you talked to him about this?
Employers can change your hours. As an employer myself, I shift people's hours from time to time. The best course of action would be to ask your boss for a different hours or find a brand new job.
