hope some savvy in the know folks can help me out here...

few work related stress issue for you...

in april i tupe over to a new firm who has taken over the contract... (been there 3 years)

smelt a rat from the start and soon things have started to change, 1st holiday allocation, then holiday notification, we used to have to notify work a week in advance for a day off or a month for a week or more... now it 2 weeks notice for a day and 4 weeks for week or more...

those of us doing 5 hour shifts have lost break entitlement... even though theres a 70 year old bloke there and he been there 12 years, they have taken the 15 min break away... before you post in about breaks after 4 hours, thats just complimentary, by law you get a break if you work 6 or more hours, i just think they are being shitty taking break away after all this time, just a 15 min cuppa in the cold winter

then today i have been told we have to submit a hoilday request form if we have a trip to the doctors, dentist, medical and so on... this affects me as i have a foot condition (plantar fasciitis) and require treatment from time to time, im going to use up a fair bit of holiday allowance over the year while being laid up on a treatment slab... not a holiday is it not like as if im in disney world...

can they force these changes on us... ?

no im not part of any union

as said anyone in the legal know... much appreciate any help tips and advice, yes other than find another job, i actually quite like working there until now...

Don’t quote me but I don’t think they can force you to take Doctors/dentist etc as a holiday legally. I’ve always organised my docs and dentist appointment after working hours but I understand not practical for everyone

Leave, get a new job/career. Start a new qualification. GET IN CONTROL

Have you got an Employee Contract mate?

[PieF@ce]

You're right about Working Time.

Pure non-contractual rights don't TUPE across to your new employer.

Check your contract to see if the policies/procedure you refer to are expressly set out or incorporated by reference. Check your staff handbook and/or ask for a copy of the relevant policy.

Speak with ACAS and join a union.
