Opting out of sundays and company response - confused!!!

[scorrer11]

Hi all,
the situation is i have opted out of working Sundays via a one month notice letter because i was never informed that i could opt out of Sundays by the company within 2 months of starting work, i am currently being put through a change of hours for the company's benefit along with the rest of the store but i believe this should be treated separately to that.
There response is very vague and i believe they are trying to avoid the situation and then force me out of hours in the re-profiling procedure, i have worked for this company for 8 years now and always gone that extra mile to do anything i can to help them.
a few days after the one month notice was up that issued me with a letter that was dated before the month was up so i am very confused what they are trying to do but i know they have alot of legal resources and will do things that will baffle me.
please help and see attached photo's.
also attached is the bit in my contract about sunday working.
thanks in advance

Re: Opting out of sundays and company response - confused!!!

If Sunday has been one of your normal 5 contracted working days and you have decided to opt-out of working on Sundays, you are effectively voluntarily reducing the number of days you work to 4 per week. So, your employer is under no obligation to offer you an alternate day.

Your employer also seems to be going the extra mile in offering you that extra day, even if it is a temporary arrangement.

That said, you will be under contract to be available for work for (x) days/hours per week/month etc, & your wages will reflect that.

It would appear to me that the employer is anticipating arranging a new contract of employment, which will inevitably reflect your decision not to work Sundays.
