Hi,
Missus works in a Local Borough nursery and have proposed new contract, she works 3 days a week Mon to Wed
They have just received their new proposed salary on a Post it note and left on the desk.
That's not great in the first place but she isn't even in and received a text from somebody telling her.
Do you think Id be overeacting a bit if I had the hump about it??
Is there a cause for complaint?
Cheers.

Shess now been told back to 5 days or less salary for 3 days.
However, the quote for 5 days (same hours & holiday) is less than she was earning 4 years ago doing the same job.
This doesnt sit right either.
I'm a bit unclear on the other bit - is she being paid a 5 day per week salary for working 3 days? In which case a salary reduction is to be expected.
But if she is being paid for a 3 day week and they are now asking to cut her salary.....that's a different kettle of fish. That along with the post-it strikes me as a company trying to force your wife's hand and get a resignation
No she was 5 days, then went 3 days.
She is now offered the option to stay 3 days or go back to 5 days.
If she goes 5 days her salary is less than it was 4 years ago for same job hours, holidays.
3 days a week is now more holiday than she gets now, term time only so a massive reduction in wages but understandable as she now gets 8 weeks extra off.
Cheers Bud
I'm sure your wife is a valued member of staff at the nursery, but if as appears, she works for a local authority, I can assure you they do not care two hoots about her. They have the upper hand in employment terms at the moment and know she will be easily replaced if she chooses to leave.
I work for a local authority, and it is amazing the talent that they let go without the blink of an eyelid as they know there is always someone out there ready to replace them. We have had a 1% pay rise in the last 5 years and the unions want to go on strike to get another 1%, incredible!
In short, they've got you by the curlies!
