Hi all
My wife works in a care home and has been there for 13 years
A new company took over the home about 3 years ago and in April of those years they ask her to sign a new contract which she did.
The company have been having building work done and this has caused the home to reduce the number of residents until the building work has been completed. As from yesterday they asked all employees to sign new contracts to enable the company to reduce the amount of hours any employee works as and when they feel the need to.
As my wife signed her contract in April that last for a year can they legally reduce her hours?
Just to add she works 12hr shifts on a rolling pattern and contracted to do 38.5 hours per week
thanks for any advice given
