Legal or not? halving of weekly hours worked..
35 Answers
Please bear with me as this may take a while. Until this time last year,I was working in a residential nursing home as a kitchen assistant/relief cook .In September of last year,it was announced that the home would be changing ownership and use. The transference of use took place in the middle of October of last year,and aproximately 1/3 of the staff stayed on. I stayed on,taking over the cooks position...I stayed in this position until late April of this year. It was agreed at the time of takeover that all contracts would be honoured-I believe for a period of 3 months,at which time new contracts would be issued.-but I do not know this for fact. I worked 25 hours per week during this period.Well-this company sheds home managers like a snake sheds its skin.....upheaval is constant. In the home I worked in,during a 5.5 month period we had 3 managers. In April still without a new contract,I was offered the position of full-time cook in another home owned by the same company.I was now working 40hrs per week.....in the intervening 3.5 months we have had 3 managers-the one who hired me quit the following week. Each manager promised to look at all contracts,and issue new ones where necessary. Nothing ever was done.The home has now taken on a second cook....the original intention was this would be someone who would fill in in my absence. Instead-without consultation-it has been made a job-share. My hours have been cut from 40 to 20.
My question is: In light of the fact that my original contract was isssued for 25 per week., and may or may not be still in effect.......is what they are doing legal??

Hmmm, Icey.
I can accept that most people would only eat human flesh in 'dire emergency' but what about when you're 21 years old, at a student party, completely p!ssed and you're offered a dare? That's the circumstance that I was referring to. (it was only a very small amount of 'meat' 'cos one forearm doesn't go very far among a large number of students!)
PF: Just to return to your question. Please allow me to correct a minor typo. The ACAS helpline closes at 1800, not 1600.
Anyway, I'm off to bed now.
'Night all.
