(Sorry if this isn't in the right place)
I'm a full time university student, worked for 3 years after college before deciding to go.
I got a job back in October and the job was advertised as 1 day per week, I have a day off each week from uni so thought this would be perfect, I contacted them and explained I had 1 day off a week and could fit the shift in then which they said was fine. During the interview the manager told me it would be a split shift over 2 days and asked if I could work Saturdays. I told her I do have commitments on Saturdays (uni work, volunteering etc) and I may be able to do the odd Saturday here and there.
Since January, I've been rota'd in to do every other Saturday as well as a day in the week and the hours are difficult (12-4) so it's bang in the middle of the day. I've tried to do as many as I can but it's becoming hard.
I am thinking of emailing my area manager explaining the difficulty I'm having of working Saturdays and seeing if I can do just 1 day during the week or possibly 1 Saturday a month. In my contract it simply states 7.5 hours and HR is not aware of me doing split shifts.
Do I have anything on my side if I do email her? Or could she simply just sack me?
Any advice would be great! Thank you
