Job sharing and seniority

Post by Spartacus »

How would you go about a repick when two members of different lengths of service wish to move to a jobshare?

How would seniority be used in allocating a job share?

Do they even go in the repick or is a duty assigned beforehand?

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks.

This should be normal practice but will become an issue when senior 'sharer' leaves Role as that moves other part-time OPG to their correct place on seniority list, i.e. they do not automatically 'pick-up' the duty (even if in some cases they have performed it for years) because they gained it by virtue of the other 'sharers' seniority not their own.

We have been told you can't do job shares as they gave to protect full time jobs
