  • As a employee, what notice do I have to give, to change my contract

    I have a current dispute in my work, which I'm trying to resolve

    I work for Asda stores

    Early Aug 2015, a colleague who work Sat night shift was sacked, so I came forward to my manager, and said I would be willing to do this shift. One of my main reason for doing it, was it would give me additional hours, and it would boost my contract from 34 hours to 42 hours per week.

    My manager informed me, that I wouldn't be given this shift full-time, as I'm not a night shift colleague, but day shift, so I would only be contracted for 3 months, so I signed the contract for 3 months, but was never given a copy, in process of asking to see my contract

    With in the next 3 months, the people manager was suppose to be arranging for a night shift colleague to do these shifts, but as of Feb this hasn't happened

    The manager who agreed this with me, left the store, and went to another store; this is where the problems have started. Told the new manager at Nov, I'm no longer doing the night shift, only to be told I'm doing it until its sorted, but I told him, I was only contracted for 3 months, and that contract is done

    So its now got to the point, I think I have to give them notice, that I no longer want to work Sat night shift, but go back to my current shift

    Sat night shift 17:00 - 07:00
    Current shift 17:00 - 00:00

    What sort of notice do I have to give them: 2 weeks, 3 weeks ????

    Hi mywilderness, & welcome to Legal Beagles

    How long have you worked for them?
    Have you had a Statement of Particulars of Employment?
    Have you had, or can you access (ie intranet) a contract of employment?

      Your problem here is that you continued to work Saturday nights (although unwillingly) after the 3 months were up. So, by conduct, you are deemed to have accepted that you are now contracted to work on Saturday nights.

      If you give notice that you will no longer work them, you'll be saying that if they don't agree to the change you will leave at the end of the notice period.
