My cousin has contacted me stating that her employers have decided to change her contractual. She used to work 37.5 hours on a 4 days on and 2 days off rolling roster (11 pm to 7 am.) effective 1st March 2016. Due to her mum who collected her son after school is planning to go back to her native country in April this year, my cousin spoke to her manager and her hours were changed from above to 9 am to 230 pm Monday to Thursday and both parties were happy ith this.
The organisation has decided to change all staff hours to 11 pm to 7 am rolling roster. They held a meeting in January 2016 as a consultation meeting and then interviewed each member of staff individually on the 3rd February and i think there has been other dates in february for other members od staff. The manager attended a note taker and my cousin. The notes also states my cousin didnt want amyone to come with her(i dont know why she did this).
My cousin explained her situation on the 3rd February it would not be possible for her to work their new shift due to no one to collect her son and i must add no one to watch him during the night.
She has been given the right to appeal bearing in mind that this said letter is dated 9th February and she received the letter on 11 th February and the letter states she has 5 days to appeal from the date she received the letter!!!!!!
This company i think has over 50 employees as they provides services to different sites across yge UK.
I have written an appeal letter on her behalf emailed it over due to the low timescale and advised my cousin to record deliver a copy letter with her signature and her employers thriugh the email have been nitified of this.
My question is i know eomployers have to from time to time amend terms of employment hours etc but are they allowed to give such a short notice and are they liable to keep her hours as it is 9 am to 230 pm monday to thursday. She has offered since this letter to work a friday as well keeping with the 9 am to 230 pm existing hours.
