Hi Gianna 

Tactically posted on a Sunday ;)

What business sector do you work in?

In reply to Steve Bridger:

Now I can see from another thread that you work for a clothing retailer.

In reply to Steve Bridger:

that’s correct ! thanks Steve

If the business routinely requires Sunday working then there are a number of grounds on which one might seek to opt out.

First, one may seek to do so as part of a flexible working request, subject to the normal scrutiny and limitations of such.

Second, one may opt out as part of opting out from having previously opted in to Sunday working in order to permit working in excess of the 48-hour limit on weekly working hours in the WTR.

And, third, one may opt out as a request for reasonable adjustments to accommodate a religion or faith if you are part of a Christian denomination that strictly observes Sunday as a day of rest.

Finally, of course, the business can have its own discretionary position on Sunday working opt-outs, based on the needs of the working site in question.

thanks Robey, do employees have to give reason for why they are opting out ?
