Hey guys, I was employed by this non-for profit org as a part-time permanent for over 3 years, been smooth sailing until…
Recently the manager/ceo casually advised in a team meeting that he wants me to convert to fulltime because there's more work required, I advised due to taking care at home of my elderly mum, I cannot commit to more hours than the standard PT hours I was hired for. I dont think he liked the answer.
Last week I received an email from the HR manager inviting me to a meeting to discuss the org's (very specific) operational restructure to make this role a FT role and do discuss impacts it has on my family, essentially between the lines, it's moreso advising that the PT role is no longer available.
What are my options, I'm unable to do more hours and my original employment offer was perm PT.
Sounds like if i say no, im going to be sacked.
They can spin a redundancy a million different ways and remain fully legal.
You’ll need to agree an arrangement that works for you, or will have to find another employer.
Have you discussed flexible working arrangements maybe?
