Is there a moral of this story? How cold was the van to cause all this upset?

for us yeah.
vans go out for 12 hour shifts that it.
or half day 6s.

@old man i was there, would never not be because i do care, only issue now is whether employee decides to approach acas, if employee does then im willing to help, but where to start withh doing that im unsure of the process or how best to present the employees case, cross that bridge if it comes to it

can't see this working in rural areas,but I dare say the idiots in charge will try to roll it out nationally no doubt

Trial is a goahead for being made perminant in our store. Driver feedback meant very little they went off the number of drops they could fill into a slot creating a better fill %. I was on the trial hours of 12 hours days instead of 10 and wanted to go back to the 10 but overruled. Will still stay with the company as its still a better job than others out there but im now unlikely to ever pick up overtime as im too tired from the longer days.

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?
