FWA question

[sweatband]

Scenario:

Worked at employer over 15 years, have always have an FWA around WFH days based on my disability

Last year I made a small change which was agreed.

Now my FWA is to be reviewed annually, in the contract as such.

Is that normal these days?

Must I go through the anxiety of an annual review of it?

The changes I have relate to a disability which isn't going to go away.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts

Contractual changes are permanant, but you may be misunderstanding the purpose of the review. Where a change is due to specific circumstances, such as disability, we also review periodically. But the purpose is to ensure that the arrangement is still working for the employee.Your disability won't go away, but your needs may vary over time. Circumstances such as caring responsibilities or parental responsibilities also change over time, so what we agree today may not work for the employee in the future. Could you ask them why they are reviewing it annually - it may not be for any reason that would be a worry.

That's a good point, but for the last 15 years I have had no review and now all of a sudden it's an annual review.

I will ask though why it's changed, and it does concern me that they could just suddenly decide it doesn't work for them any longer.

Standard. They're protecting themselves as much as you.
