Moving my start time.
Basically I've had enough of being trodden on by the bullies that are management. A while back I stopped doing overtime (lets be honest, the more work you do the more they seem to want to give you!) For the past couple of months management have either told me to leave lapsing or, if that wasn't enough, have removed (or left in) part of my duty to allow me to finish on time. All of a sudden, today, they've decided "this can't go on" and have threatened to move my start time. Can they do this and if so is any notice required?

Are you PT or FT? Do you have a set duty?
Does it compare with anybody else in the office?
They can change your start and finish times, but it has to be reasonable, and can't unfairly discriminate against you e.g. let's have wobbly start at 10am for no good reason when everybody else is starting at 7am on a similar duty structure.

My understanding is that as you have been on the same start times for 6 years this could be seen, in the eyes of employment law, as an implied contract. Therefore you have to agree to the changes.
However, this does not always apply where someone works in an industry that has a trade union with collective bargaining rights.
Basically if your trade union agrees to changes which in effect is a contractual change there is nothing you can do about it.
