Change to t&c's but wasn't notified

I have been contacted by mngt (large organisation) advising that people of a certain level should be on a standard 3 month notice period, rather than 1 month notice period as per standard contracts; this impacts quite a few people in my team that I would need to navigate that change.

On reviewing the data though it appears that the organisation already has me on a 3 month notice period; however, I have never been notified of a change to my contract which was 1 month notice (and still is as far as I'm concerned). I imagine it was when I got my last promotion but I have double checked my documentation relating to that promotion and it does not state my notice period changed.

Where do I stand legally on this matter? I would prefer not to have a 3 month notice period, nor rock the boat with my team changing theirs, but equally from a business point of view can see the benefit of having a longer notice period for senior people.

They have to notify you of any change in your notice period - Employment Rights Act 1996 Section 4.

All the best op

Thanks both, that Employs Right Act section is useful. There will be some interesting conversations happening this week between myself and my line manager!
