Changing duty - advice please
Hi is there anywhere that says a duty becomes yours if you've been doing it for a certain amount of time? The duty I've been on for 2 years has just been offered to someone else. I was moved there as my old job on bikes doesn't exist any more. My rep hasn't been any help so would like some advice if possible. thanks.

sorry but the duty should have been put up for signing even after two years then the most senior person who wants it will get it.

as zx says there is a procedure for filling vacant duties.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

if you've been displaced, as you were when your duty went, the displaced individual gets 1st pick of any vacancy.

I don't know if things have changed,but it used to be the case that according to MTSF surplus staff we're govern priority regarding any vacancies.zx135 wrote:that is not part of any current national agreement unfortunately, any vacancy should go up for signing by senioritysilly suffolk wrote:if you've been displaced, as you were when your duty went, the displaced individual gets 1st pick of any vacancy.

I cant see anywhere in the MTSF that says that, also i dont think the MTSF agreement would apply anyway, his first move to the duty in the office was unofficial anyway and wasnt put up for signing and thats the one the started the chain of events off
