WRC rejects worker’s complaint over changed shift arrangements

By Cathal Brosnan

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC rejected a worker’s complaint after a food and retail business required him to make himself available for shifts until 11pm. In a decision dated 20 September 2016, the adjudication officer found that the worker’s contract allowed changes to his hours and shifts as business needs changed. The worker said a 2011 arrangement had set his working days and hours. The employer said that arrangement was temporary and that increased business needs required more flexibility.
