Advice please, a colleague works 0615 til 1415 daily. Manager has told him that for the next two weeks his hours will be more or less 9 til 5 to cover a collection round. He has childcare issues in the afternoons which makes this impossible, more notice to make arrangements may have helped, can he refuse to change hours?

Is this colleague a floater/reserve or a signed duty? What does colleagues contract of employment state? Has colleague informed manager of his childcare duties in the afternoon?

If he has children they can try and change his times all they like. Children are priority.
