Hi
(I have name changed for this)
I need some advice on possible constructive dismissal. I currently work unusual hours in my industry, 10am until 2pm, 5 days a week. (So 0.6fte) This obviously allows me to care for my small school age children and do the school run, and therefore allow me to work.
I have had these hours for 2 years, ever since I joined the company.
They are now restructuring and stating that all working hours will be reviewed as part of that. They have not explicitly told me they won’t honour my hours yet but my current team is being dissolved and they have said we all need to state preference for a new role in the company. They have also said they will look for flexible working that covers the full day (ie 2/3 day job share spilts)
They have stated I’m not eligible for redundancy as they will give me another role so I won’t be without work.
However if I can’t work these hours, because they can’t honour them, then I will have to resign and leave.
Would I have a case for constructive dismissal? If/when they finally say they can no longer continue my hours?
I have worked these hours successfully for 2 years so their argument that it doesn’t suit the business would be hard to argue right? Though I guess they could claim as my team is being dissolved it doesn’t matter what used to work for that team as they will no longer exist.
I’m all over the place with this right now.
