Legal assistance with employment law issues

Questioner

My question, My employer has 2 buildings with different working hours. I have been in the same building for over a year now with working hours from 8am to 5pm. Now my employer informed us last week that my colleague and I have to rotate, and then also at the times on that side, one week from 6 to 3 and the other week, from 9 to 6. As a single parent, I take my children to daycare at 7:30 in the morning and have to pick them up before 5:30. I have already indicated to my employer in a conversation that those hours make it impossible for me because of my children. And contract hours at the daycare. He would discuss this, and I was told that I just have to come to work at those times. Because he said if they allow me to work there from 8 to 5, that several colleagues can knock on the door. That's why I made the decision, While we know that there are also colleagues who work one day less per week or even have a mommy day. I wouldn't know where to leave my children and I think this is absurd. And I wonder, can they make it like this? Do we have any rights in this regard? In my contracts (first a half-yearly and now an annual contract) it states under working hours, the working hours are agreed upon mutually. Working hours are stated when the employee is employed on the basis of a fixed salary and the working hours are 40 hours per week spread over 5 days. We do not have a collective labor agreement

Lawyer

Since the working hours have been determined by mutual agreement, the employer in this case is not acting as a good employer should. Furthermore, the employer is not free in principle to unilaterally change the employment conditions of his employees. This may be different if the employment contract contains a change clause and the employer provides compelling reasons for the change. I do not infer the latter from your question If this is not the case, you do not have to agree to the change. I do advise you to inform your employer in writing (registered with acknowledgement of receipt) in your case. I advise you to contact an employment lawyer or a lawyer who specializes in employment law. You may be eligible for subsidized legal aid.
