I was wondering if anyone knows if i have a leg to stand on regarding a change in work hours. I'm on maternity leave at the moment & just found out by chance earlier today that the office where I work have decided they want someone there to cover the phones between 8.30 & 5.30. In order to do this in my section there are 5 people so everyone will have to do the shift nobody wants of 9.30 to 5.30 one day a week.
I've always worked 8.30 to 4.30 & normally I wouldn't object too much to the change but my little one goes to bed at 6 (despite my best efforts to strerch her out). As my commute is approx 40 minutes I can't see how I can physically manage this. I'm a single mother btw so can't ask dad to put her to bed for me!
As far as I can remember there are no specific hours of work in my contract, will have to double check that though.
