Hi,
My wife is a nurse who is contracted to do 30 hours per week. She is employed to work night shifts. Two years ago family circumstances meant she needed to fix her shifts. She has done this ever since and has a colleague who has also fixed her nights.
Recently her manager has been - IMHO - very unprofessional with her. She referred my wife to Occupational Health based, as per her referral email, on something she'd heard. When my wife attended the Occ Health nurse had no idea what she was there for but was horrified at the way she had been referred.
Now, following a recent meeting, this manager has said she is going to look in to employment law as she feels my wife is not showing enough flexibility.
There's a bit more to it, such as her manager always requesting a meeting during day times when my wife is off shift, or more recently asking her to present to the Board at 2 pm following her shift the night before. My wife completed the presentation document but told her manager she couldn't come in to present it as it would be akin to her coming in at 2 am and then starting a shift at 0900. She got a mouthful in reply.
Anyway, I was hoping someone could point us in the right direction of where my wife stands for all of this please?
