For the last 2 years I have worked part time finishing at 4.30 as childcare (school afterclub) finishes at 5.30 and my commute is 45 minutes minimum. Work are now saying I have to work till 5 once a week as my original contract states that is my official finish time. I have not been able to find alternative childcare there are very few childminders around and none of them pick up from dds school (it's only a small primary school).
Can my employers do this? Am in a union who have said they cannot as custom and practice may apply but I am reluctant to just get up and leave at 4.30 as I need a job.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
