Q. Is my employer allowed to change my Contract/Terms and Conditions?
Your employer can only change your contract terms if you agree. When any of the main terms are changed, your employer must provide written notice of the change within a month. Check any such notice carefully.
If your employer tries to force upon you new terms, which you do not accept, you must take immediate steps to protect your interests by lodging a grievance with the employer and notifying your Usdaw representative.
Changes, which you have not agreed and which result in a cut in pay, may be an unlawful deduction from wages.
Changes in hours or shift patterns, which are particularly difficult for women with families to manage, may be indirect sex discrimination. Changes, which you have not agreed, may be a breach of contract.
While this answer gives you a brief explanation it is not a definitive guide to the law. Contact your local rep or office for further guidance. For more questions and answers visit:www.usdaw.org.uk/faqs/
