Had my hours cut at work !

[David321]

Hi , I hope there is someone out there who can advise me. I am a school caretaker I had my hours cut April 2013 approx 15 % employed by County Council at that time it turned out to be breach of contract but I did not want the hassle of legal action to fight it at the time. I was transferred to the School from the council Sept 1. 2013 TUPE transfer with protected rights. However School have cut my hours again amongst other changes to my job without consultation again this is breach of contract and I am going to fight this time with Union assistance I have to make a stand having lost 30% of my hours over a number of years. My question is :- Is 15 % the maximum cut that can be taken off my hours and 3 years before any further review/cut can take place, There must be some restrictions on what can be changed regards employee`s Statement of particulars or they can walk all over you. Thanks.. Dave

What reasons have the school given for the changes?

Trying to save money was the reason but we are only talking about 1/2 hour per week making 4 hours cut in total,after they had cut my hours without prior consultation and also prevented me doing part of normal duties which would cost me another £33 a week on top of my hours cut, The Headteacher is doing this on her own School Governors do not know what is going on, I am also being treated unfairly in other areas, My former County Council Line manager is appalled by treatment I am getting from the school..... Thanks..... Dave
