Contracted hours vs Rostered hours

markodaly

This should be quick one and may have been asked already, but if one has a permanent contract of employment that states one has to work 25 hours a week, but they are only being rostered less than this, is this allowed legally?

I would have thought not, and the employer should actually be paying the full 25 hours regardless if they are only being rostered 80-90% of the 25 hours.

No issue for years, but it has cropped up in the past 3 months, and the employer is trying to push the onus on the employee to 'fix' the issue i.e use it as a wedge to dictate a change in hours/days/circumstances worked.

some employers simply dont give a sh1te about rules and laws, they get away with it to, best of luck

Do you criticise the employees who nip home an hour early the odd day or is ideology just against employers?

It will depend on the working in your contract. You need a solicitor or union to advise.

But you may need to choose between redundancy (which may be your legal entitlement) vs still having a job but getting fewer hours.
