Hello,*
I started my work as reprographic assistant *but after 4 months have been helping out with reception duties. My rota was Monday and Tuesday reception and the rest of the week repro. After a year and half I have been informed that I will be permanently moving to Reception without optio to to keep my current position. I didn't like the idea, however I have been offered a bit more money hence I agreed. Ai have received annotation to my contract that from now on I will be working as Receptionist. A few days ago my manager came to me and informed that due to Coronavirus I will be helping out in reprographic office as there isn't enough work at reception and that this is only a temporary move and that we should do everything to be indispensable. I said that I dint like it that it is only me that have been singled out and moved to work there. There are 3 other people at reception sitting comfortably on their chairs while I'm scanning post and bundles, which is not a rocket science and any of us could be doing this job of we should be taking turns. Tgefe are other departments in my firm and none of other people have been asked to move departments apart from me. I cannot imaging someone from the records team or post room team to move to repro office. The answer would be bluntly it is not my duty or in my job description. Am I the only one that thinks I haven't been treated fairly as my contract isn't for multi services assistance? Also taking into account the current*social distancing measures proposed by the government, the repro office is really confined space with 5 people working in close proximity and nothing has been done about this.*
Please can someone advise me on this? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Many thanks in advance! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Alicia*
