breech of contract??

I've recently returned to work (teacher, secondary) - before hand i negociated to be part time until january and received a letter from the Head confirming this. 3 weeks after returning to work, i heard, through staff room gossip, that the Head had 'signed my letter in errror' and that i was actually expected to return full time in september. I had spoken to the Head a few times since i'd been back, to say hi etc and he'd never mentioned this, in fact a friend said that he'd been meaning to, but was 'snowed under'. what i want to know is what the rules/employment law says about this kind of thing - apart from it being totally unprofessional and rude in my mind not to tell me about this 'error', he signed a letter that i still have that confirms my terms of employment. i have a meeting with him next tuesday, so i was hoping to know what to do say to him!!

Sounds to me like he is stuck with you part time regardless - can you speak to your union rep to clarify your legal postion? I have a permenant part time contract as a result of an admin error :-) Hope it works out for you!!!

It's breach not breech.

Just in case you have to put anything in writing Wink

You're a teacher and don't know the difference between Breech and Breach? Shock

Thank you for your helpful comments sloth and lesabo, It is currently school holidays so I think its fair to expect all teachers to be shit faced and not give a rats bumbum about spelling. Smile
