I apologise in advance for the length of this post.
I work a job share position.
My job share person left, at that time I worked 2 full days and 2 half days and 2 saturdays over a 6 week period.
My job share person worked 2 full days and no saturday.
when she announced she was leaving I asked if I could change to 3 full days and the new person would do 2 half days and 1 full day. We would both do 1 saturday each over 6 weeks rather than me doing 2.
My line manager asked me to write down the days I would do and the hours and to write down the days and hours the new person would do. I did this and it was checked by my line manager and checked by the staffing department and it was approved.
The one thing the line manager and the staffing department didn't do was add up the hours and check that they amounted to a full time position. Admittedly I didn't add it up either but basically all I had done was jiggle the days that my original job share person and I had done so as far as I knew the hours were covered.
Now I'm being told that this will not work and I've been told by the big boss to try, with my line manager, and sort it out.
To say I'm hacked off beyond belief by this situation is an understatment.
does anybody know if I could just say to my line manager "look you agreed the hours and staffing agreed the hours so I should be allowed to do them?"
If they agreed the hours I really feel that they should stand by that.
What do you think my chances would be?
