Wondering if Flowery or anyone else with HR experience around?
I've been advised to raise a grievence about the way the meeting to refuse my flex work request was handled alongside my appeal.
They told me at the outset of the meeting that i was being refused as a fait accompli. They allowed me to talk but did not give due consideration to my business case or compromise options. THis can be seen clearly from the minutes.Bearing in mind this is a large public service employer, I would have expected them to give the decision at the end after seeming to consider the case presented.
I have grounds to appeal. I think the advantage of having the two seperate is so that they do not spend my appeal meeting talking about the meeting and mudding the water. Whilst still allowing me to say that it wasn't done well. Usually i would expect to try to resolve this outside of any formal procedure, but we're already there.
My union rep suggests i make a case that it is uneconomic to work the hours asked. This is true but i think it is best to ague it on feasibility rather than hardship. this gives my work paatern the greatset chance of success. What do you think?
