Major change/Resign criteria urgent advice

Post by Big Daz »

I am about to ballot the members in my office on switching to fixed duties and rotating says off.

We are currently on a 2 week rotate with fixed days off.

If a yes vote then would the following be classed as not incurring major change and be exempt from being put in the resign pot?


I have members who do the same duty both weeks of the 2 week rotate and belive that this classes their duties as being fixed/dedicated and so exempt from a resign. My view is that their duties are still 2 week rotate duties and should go in the pot for the simple reason that no aggrement has ever been sought or given to make the duties in question dedicated/fixed instead of 2 week rotate duties.

The only fixed/dedicated duties in the office are the floaters.

If a member on the disputed duties were to leave the job then their vacant duty would be advertised on a week 1 and week 2 basis meaning two separate people doing it which i use as evidence to back up my view point.

Simarily if a floater were to leave then their duty woul;d be advertised asa fixed/dedicated duty and not a week 1 and week 2 duty.

The holders of the disputed duties still have the ability to ditch a week of their duty and do a diffrent duty every other week and keep their current duty every other week which a fixed/dedicated duty such as the floters cannot do.


HELP!
