I dont see eye to eye with my DOM & we had a few heated discussions in the past & now he's informed me that next week he will be moving me off my own permanent walking duty which i have done for the past 6 yrs & make me go on another duty (to cover anual leave on that particular duty)
Is it within his power to do this because myself & all my colleagues think i have a strong harassment case & can lodge a grievance against him as it's not normal procedure to take someone off thier own walking duty to cover annual leave & i believe he's doing it just to wind me up.
Have you any reserves,and where their duties allocated? Remember,(although it is unusual),your employer can change your jobs but not your start and finish times. What about training on the walk he had put you on? What about updated "WRAP" on that walk,(updated risk assessment)? Has he taken anyone else off their walk before?
If he has not done,(or done) any of the above,your well within your rights to hand in a grievance.

Yes we do have designated leave reserves to cover these duties & i have worked in the same office for 17 yrs so pretty senior & in my opinion & other colleagues too he's doing it to get back at me for previous things that he's tried to do & been proved wrong.
Put in a grievance form and you may find he backs down.
Two guys in my office were banned from doing night shift o/t as they were not completing thier walks in time and the DIM said it was because they were tired after the night o/t. Both put in forms claiming bullying and victimisation.... one week later they are back doing night o/t!
If there is a genuine operational need to move you on a nother duty that you are fully trained for then its fine to do so, but they cant mess around with your hours or day off. The DOM in theroy will have made rep aware at resouce meeting and explained the reason behind it.
Sounds like a typical childish reaction from Management (?) You've upset him and he throws his Teddy In the Corner!
Unless all your Leave Reserves & Day Off Cover have suddenly gone sick! What's your Rep think? Definitely sounds like a bit of B & H, ask your DIM for a Grievance Form anyway, sometimes just that makes them think twice. Good Luck.

Reps on my side but we dont have a full time rep in our office & whens he's not there DOM tries it on & if you don't do as he says he threatens suspension or relocation to a different office which is totally out of order !
I actually hate going in to work now & i used to love my job

not sure if asking on this thread but if you put in a greivance against a manager how long should it take. had one in around 5 months now and still heard nothing, looks like the DOM as swept under the table!!!!
. This doens't happen in RM
