By which I mean professionally speaking.
Our family circumstances are changing and we simply need to reduce the contracted hours from 37 hours a week to 28 hours a week. Naturally that is a straightforward consultation/redundancy situation and I'm aware that the existing nanny has the right to take the new role if he/she wants it, i.e. you can't not offer it to them.
But the devil is in the detail so:
How does the consultation process work; do I need to go through one (pretty sure we do).
How do you structure changes in contract with notice periods; if our nanny has a three month notice period, I'm guessing that means we cannot change the contract for three months. Is that so?
So far so boring. Now add in that she's pregnant 😯 I know that has no bearing on the redundancy situation but it does make the whole situation far more complicated and sensitive!
