Dh works for a large haulage company and has done for six years. For five and a half of these years he has worked 2-10, even though he is contracted to 6-2 2-10 alternating. Work have allowed him to do this to fit round my hours.
The bloke he works opposite has done the same for a year and a half but he works the earlier shift.
Now he has been told they will work their contracted hours from next week. I cant afford to come out of work and not sure where we would find childcare from 5.30 am fortnightly.
Everyone else is happy with things the way they are and all hours are covered the supervisor is just flexing his power we think.
Dh and his opposite will both have childcare issues if this comes about so what I would like to ask is firstly, do they have to give them some sort of notice to change their working hours even though the arrangement at the minute is informal and different to their written contract? Secondly, would it be worth taking this to HR to see if it could be resolved? Any suggestions would be brilliant as we are panicking and desperate now !
