Change of role

Being asked to change your role/duties

This often relates to "contractual variations" or organisational restructures. 

1. Review your contract: Check your current job description and contract. Your employer generally cannot change significant terms (like your role or location) without your agreement. 

2. Ask for justification: Request a clear explanation for the proposed change and ask if it is a temporary or permanent request. 

3. Assess the impact: Determine if the new role is "reasonable and realistic" for you to perform based on your professional standards and current grade. 

4. Consult the union: Before agreeing to any new terms or signing a revised contract, contact the BDA for a case assessment. 

5. Contact your BDA workplace representative. If you do not have a workplace representative contact the BDA Employment Relations Team.
