At my work place full time is 40 hours a week Mon-Fri. I do 32 hours a week Mon, Wed-Fri with Thurs as my contracted day off.
One week every month, work keep asking me to work the Tuesday, I have been saying yes to be flexible. However I appear to have now shot myself in the foot.
I work part time as I don't want to be full time, and I agreed to Tues as day off as work wouldn't allow me Monday or Friday and out of the other three days Tues suited me best.
They give limited warning when they want me to work a Tues - e.g. they've asked me today to work next Tues. I said I have an appointment Tues morning but can come in an hour after normal start time, I then suggested when I could have the time off in lieu.
They got arsey re coming in an hour late, then said that it was inconvenient for me to have more than the one day off a week, so I could not take the time off in lieu. I said ok well I'll put a claim in for the additional hours. They said you know we are not paying anyone overtime, and showed me in my contract that states I am to be flexible as the job demands.
Can they a) make me work my day off, b) if they can make me work my day off are they able to i) refuse time off in lieu and/or ii) refuse to pay me for the additional hours worked?
Any advice gratefully appreciated.
