Family friendly

Post by mobydick1974 »

We are in the process of advertising 3 full time duties internal, 1 is a early turn but the other 2 are late turns.
We have a member of staff who wishes to go from a 30 hour contact to a full time one, due to their seniority they will only be left with the late turns.
Can a member of staff with a family friendly form sign for a duty knowing they can't undertake the duty?
cheers

surely he could use the extra 9 hours pay to pay for child care and secure themselves a full time contract in the long term they will benefit as kids grow older and can look after themselves full time contracts don't grow on trees

Family friendly no longer gets priority

anyone can apply for flexible working and as a business we can no longer put people with family commitments first

It is now the law

so unfortunately I guess it works both ways

but on a positive note if they pick it and then cry family friendly it will not have the impact it did before

Requesting family friendly or flexible working now available to employees other than carers you are requiring a duty that is suitable to you and meets with your home commitments so why would you want to sign for a duty that you have no intention of fulfilling.
