In what the trial?
What part of the country are you?

Because it's 18 hours of minimum wage, tesco pays more than that, if your a night worker you get more than that.

Quote from: londoner83 on 16-05-24, 06:42PMThe issue with reducing your contract by 2 hours is that it could well be hard to backfill those hours.

Under new rules any vacancies have to offer 16hrs a week, and even a single shift needs to be more than 3 hours.

If you have someone willing to pick up the hours you are dropping I don't see the issue but if for example you are the only colleague on your department working 1-10pm on a Saturday and you now wish to finish at 8pm it could cause operational issues.

Given the incoming new government rules on UC; those working less than 18 hours a week will have to get another job or be sanctioned. How does the 16 hours Tesco offer be compatible?

It may be that another colleague would be happy to pick up and start at like the 8pm etc? I kmow at ours we've had a few leave and their shifts just went to overtime while there's staff who joined before Christmas that want their hours, so they have to go through the consolidating overtime hours into contracted one process to see if they can get it that way since they typically work the same hours as overtime anyhow but now it's just extra overtime 

I doj get what your saying though about the lacking of cover for those 2 hours but could always just benefit someone in the end if they asked around and tried a trial perhaps?

Colleagues on UC aren't losing out. They are still getting the bonus - they will just get less government support for that month

It's about time the government introduced a pay multiple law so that those at the top can only earn a certain multiple of those at the bottom.

Looks like my store is about to be deepliy involved in this

he lost out on waste bonus, so that money will go to this.

I would assume that it'd be a flexible working request, and come under that for reduction of hours, whether temporary or permanent it can be looked at there on either a trial basis or a permanent basis, which under that it says manager will arrange a meeting at a mutual time to discuss, however the process has to be completed within 2 months from receiving a request to responding to any subsequent appeal.

on the site there's a guide with it and a flexible working checklist and the bottom of what they'd discuss it seems, so whether that's something to go off of, if you've been fobbed off since january after submitting I would definitely raise it as a complaint that's not following policy process.
