    Employer Forcing me to go on voluntary course

    I have a job interview in a few weeks with a new employer.

    In my current job I am able to arrange shift cover so long as skills match.

    My employer has refused to authorise this shift swop as I am meant to be on a course that day.

    I need this day off for my new job interview

    The course is voluntary and does not form part of my of my contractual obligations or role map.

    Where do I stand. Can someone point me in the direction of the appropriate legislation / law pertinent to this issue.

    Kind Regards
    JM

    Re: Employer Forcing me to go on voluntary course

    Although allowing a shift swap ordinarily your employer does have the right to refuse this particularly if they have arranged for you to attend a training course.

    Would it not be possible to explain to the company where you are being interviewed that you have a training course to attend that day and could an alternative date be arranged?
    If you would like a one-to-one expert consultation with me on your employment issue than I can be contacted by emailing admin@legalbeaglesgroup.com

    I do my best to provide good practical advice, however I do so without liability.
    If you have any doubts then do please seek professional legal advice.
