It read that way.

Either way your trying to force a change of contact you can't just go ahead and do that, it's possible but far from easy for an employer to do. Increasing workload, especially creating them, won't win it as their would be other options before making changes to someone's contract.

Nope, depends on skill set and if theirs was easily replaceable.

What do you mean? I take it you don't negotiate with your staff that you just tell them your changing their hours.

Skill set or not you have to look at other options, you can't just go ahead and change someone's contract because your business can't deal with the workload.

But claiming "All companies have a duty to accept reasonable adjustments for family friendly working." is wrong. They can consider proposals, offer options but they are not obliged to accept them if they can't be achieved.

Sure. But if we're going to massively clamp down on immigration, we are going to have to start giving professional British born women a good reason to have kids again - as it is now, birth rates will probably drop down to 1.2/1.3 and we'll end up like Japan - ****ed economically.

UK businesses think too much in the short term, instead of how their businesses and workers will cope with a rapidly ageing population.

surfer - creating extra workload would not be a suitable reason - really easy to counter that one. Simple no brainer win at tribunal.

Of course and whether I wanted to or not (and I did make that clear earlier) Policy and law dictates I do. Straw man.
Firstly you said that it cant be done, then you said it could. Which is what I had stated.

Your tone was suggestive that employees has no choice to change that's what I and TJ were challenging as they dont. Hence why you can ask for it be done but if an employee says no you then you're stuck, even when you create them more work.
