I work as a TA in a college. My working hours are 9.30-2.30, 3 days a week. They've been the same for the 8 years I've worked there. I've now been told that, as classes start at 9am (always have), me starting at 9.30 no longer works as they need me there for the whole of the lesson, so they're suggesting I either start at 9am (which means paying for breakfast club at school) or 10.30 (which means I have to work till 3.30 and use the after school club which isn't cheap). They have also stopped me taking a lunch break as I don't work enough hours to be entitled to one (I work 5 - the minimum is 6). That would mean I probably wouldn't get to eat during my working day as I can't really sit at a desk and work whilst eating a sandwich as most of my day is spent in class. I need to eat regularly or I get the shakes. Can they make me change my hours?
