Levelling up
Looks like this is going well, all non legacy in my office have been told this week that they will now be required to work one Sunday in four, previously one in seven

Re: Levelling up
It’s not me, but the non legacy in my office. It doesn’t look fair, and even if the contract says work 5 days out of 7, they should not be making 1 in 4 Sundays mandatory. The contract is vague to say the least

Re: Levelling up
They’ll just say Sunday working is in the contract, which it is. It should be spread out fairly, but this is RM and they’ll do as they please

Re: Levelling up
They can't force you to work a extra day overtime is optional

Re: Levelling up
They are scheduled to work 5 days over 7 so its not an extra day its just Sunday being one of their scheduled work days
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Re: Levelling up
They are talking about working 1 sunday as a scheduled working day every 4 weeks rather than every 7 weekstramssirhc wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025, 17:10The post 2022 contract is explicit. Its five working days out of seven.Thommo44 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025, 16:41

Re: Levelling up
Which leads to another question, as employees they should be entitled to vote on any office shift pattern but their contract would not allow them to work any pattern offered. Am I missing something?tramssirhc wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025, 17:10The post 2022 contract is explicit. Its five working days out of seven.Thommo44 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2025, 16:41
