I have worked 2 nights per week for 19 years at residential home. I requested to drop to one night.?
Answer:
they cannot drop your nightly allowance if other people have changed and not lost theirs.
You should put your foot down and demand what is right.
night work is unsocial hours so you should get unsocial hours pay even if your only doing 1 night
While I don't know much about British law, I do know a great deal about American labor law.
The examples you've given are all people who have increased their hours, therefore, kept their already existing benefit. You are looking to decrease your hours, so its not the same thing. If others looked to lessen their hours, they probably would have had their benefit dropped.
For example, if a worker here in the U.S. gets benefits from working full-time, they may not get the same benefits (or any benefits at all) by dropping to part-time. It sounds like it is company policy that you need to work at least 2 nights a week in your present position to maintain your benefit status. I would strongly suggest you talk to your supervisor about what corporate policy is.
Hope that helps.
Use this only after reason has broken down.
Tell them you consulted a barrister and HE/SHE suggested a hefty lawsuit. You don't want to but you will if you have to. What's right is right and they are definately in the wrong.
Good luck and have a great day.
i think they have to give you 13 weeks notice to change your hours?but even so thats just unfair
