Working out of normal hours

Jenny

We have a situation where our IT department are based in the UK and Germany and the team need to be on hand and provide support to our US offices as the central head office is located in the US - there is the need for the employees to be on-call and I would appreciate some help on what barriers we can expect to face and solutions to overcome these?

For new employee contracts - we would change the wording in their contracts to reflect the out of hours conditions?

For existing employee contracts - can we provide a change of terms and conditions and would we need to consult with the employees?

Help will be greatly appreciated!

  • Whether there is a requirement to consult or not misses a little of the 'human element'.
    I guess most of us would not be too happy if some one from higher up the food chain simply told us without explanation or consultation that we were now required to work outside our normal existing hours. Its only polite to do so... ;-)
