    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    Fair enough. A totally understandable position.

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    <removed> I agree taking these precautions is sensible, at no point have I said I do not agree with them. My point and the purpose for seeking this advice was on how to deal with it, how to effectively communicate that due to the duties being changed so drastically. So I guess this is also a...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    Believe it or not this is not the only website on the internet. I have heard elsewhere that *without consent* they cannot make changes. I hear what everyone has said and accept it. I was more looking for advice on how one can deal with it and how to convince an employer to just be let go...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    I know my communication hasn't been the best, so I would like to apologise for my previous post. This is what I'm confused about. Duties changing drastically without concent. Some are saying they can't do that and others are saying she will be sacked with note on reference. Reading elsewhere...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    Literally what I just said. "Lets stop answering" lol you sound like a 6 year old in the play ground What do you want me to listen to exactly? I said its not sensible for the employer to do this, what are my options. Can the changes be rejected etc. What would be the outcome if the changes in...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    Is it also sensible to waste everyones time? Saying that we cannot reduce the contract period due to being understaffed and at the same time saying that any duties involving actual work will be carried out under supervision. My point was that if the responsibilities for a member of staff who...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    The boss doesn't like anyone who wants to leave. He is a narcissist and if you kiss his ring he is happy and knows you exist. If you want to leave you are dead to him. Perfectly legal but not a great use of everyones time to put a expert into duties that they are clearly overqualified for. I...

    On what would be the correct thing to do? This isn't the legal section :)

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    Exactly! But they don't want to concede that she got what she wanted by leaving the company early. They've written to her that: any duties you perform on customer data will be carried out via physical supervision. I mean come on! They didn't let her leave early because they said they are...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    They just have a hard on for getting them to work their notice period. With the new duties, she will not be doing what she was originally hired to do but they do not want to concede garden leave as this would mean paying her for not doing anything. And letting her go would concede that she got...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    I would too, but that isn't the point. Can an employer drastically change duties without consent or consultation is what I was asking. If you would remove access and their job depends on it, then why would you have a notice period. Why not just let them go as soon as they have their access...

    Can employer demote or drastically change duties without consent

    Just a quick few questions on the law around being demoted while on notice period. A friend of mine is in a similar situation to mine (if you guys remember my contract malarkey) She has a job working in IT. Part of her job involves looking after servers and requires high level access to do so...

    Breach of contract threats around notice period and calling in sick

    I mean what exactly can they say in my reference without actual backing evidence... If I lose the next job because of a bad reference then I will take it to court myself. I am going to see a doctor tomorrow and will know more as I've never suffered from stress before. My notice period is 3...

    Breach of contract threats around notice period and calling in sick

    I can be conveniently sick more often and late with car trouble and longer lunch and generally taking the biscuit! I think employers fail to understand that disgruntled employees can cause them more trouble than its worth. I'm obviously not going to do the above because im not a bad person...
