  • Told to work sleep over night shift at another care home

    The senior at a care home 24 miles away is not coping with the position he is in
    he is on flexible working so only works day hrs in the weekwhich means he does not work weekends or sleepover night shifts
    Sleepover nights involves working
    late shift 14:00 - 21:30 working time paid for
    sleepover night shift. 21:30 to 07:00. Paid £27 does not count towards Working time
    day shift. 0700- 14:00hrs working time paid for
    so away for 24hrs not including traveling time


    my wife is senior at a care home 5 miles away she has been told by her manager that she will be working at various times at the other care home getting the senior there up to speed , as well as having to work there sleepover nights. And potentialy there weekends The manager basically told her that he can do this and you will have to accept it or leave
    her contract does has the clause that says
    work were the requirement is needed

    question is around the sleepover night shift
    can she be made to work it when the other senior only works day hrs during the week
    he is on a higher hourly rate of pay

    at present my wife Is getting very stressed about this situation she has been loyal to the company for 16 years. And she feels she is being put into a position were she will have to leave

    Re: Told to work sleep over night shift at another care home

    Hello and welcome to LB.
    Your wife's terms and conditions of work are governed by the contract of employment. This seems to state that she agrees to work where the requirement is, but certainly doesn't imply anytime, anywhere anyhow.
    It's a question of what is reasonable.
    Since she's worked there 16 years she has very strong employment rights. A manager cannot just arbitrarily change her working hours, or working location. They must get your wife's agreement.
    Who would agree to such ridiculous changes?
    I suggest you advise her to tell the manager that she's happy to negotiate but won't "just leave".
