Supporting Parents and Carers Spotlight Day - Need a Helping Hand? 21 March 2012

Usdaw Reps often help members who have been asked to change their hours of work. This is probably one of the most common issues that members ask for help with.

Over the last year there has been an increase in the number of members being asked to vary their working hours. This is because of changes in consumer spending and trading patterns. Companies may need to change working patterns to respond to this.

Usdaw recognises that at times it may be necessary to change someone’s hours of work. We want to ensure that any such changes are reasonable and that members affected are fully consulted, informed and supported throughout the process of hours being changed. Where this happens, there is a better chance of any variation in hours working for both the member and the company.

If you require any further information about Spotlight Day please do not hesitate to contact the Equalities Department on 0161 249 2451.
