Working Pattern Dispute Resolution
Summary
If your working pattern changed in 2024 but isnt recognized, gather evidence like texts and rotas. In Scotland, the Employment Rights Act 1996 protects changes to working conditions. Write a formal letter to HR and your regional manager, referencing this act and attaching your evidence. This can help resolve the issue of owed hours.Full Conversation

Subject: Confirmation of Change in Working Pattern

Dear [Manager's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally confirm the change in my working pattern that was requested and approved by my manager in *.
As per our discussions and the evidence I have, including rotas and text messages, the change was implemented and has been in effect since [date of change].
According to the Employment Rights Act *, any changes to working conditions must be documented and agreed upon. I believe my change in working pattern falls under this protection.
Please find attached copies of the rotas and text messages that support my claim. I request that my working hours be updated accordingly and any owed hours be reassessed based on this change.
I am looking forward to resolving this matter amicably and promptly.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
