Job offer - advice

[chaddblue]

any employment law experts on here?

My missus has been offered a job after interview for 1 of 20 posts which clearly said in the advert full and part time roles

She has to do part time because of the kids who because of their age need taking to school and picking up

They’re now saying they can’t accomodate her part time and the offer is full time or nothing

She’s kicked off with them and threatening to take it further.

Any idea where she stands ?

At the sink and ironing board ?

Does she already work for the company?

Take it further?

Just don't accept the offer.

I think I'm missing something here.

Depends on what she was interviewed for. If it was clear at interview that the role was part time then she has grounds for complaint. If it was unspecified then maybe not.

i don't see how ahe could take it further? they can make any offer, it is up to her to accept, not accept, or negotiate. but in terms of legal recourse, i would doubt she has any options.

This I would have thought.

They may well have had both full and part time roles available when they interviewed your wife but maybe all the part time ones have been filled. It's hard to see what legal recourse she might have as any company interviewing someone can choose to offer anything or nothing as it suits them.

This...and even if she was successful and got the job ' she ' wanted it would be a fun filled working atmosphere for her

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Not a leg to stand on.

 

[chaddblue]

Does she already work for the company?

She works for the same company but in a different department and office but on a temporary contract doing the part time hours she would want to do in the new job

Why?

It was clear in the job advert. Hours weren’t discussed at the interview

That did cross my mind

I’m going to have to see some pics of the lovely lady in question before I can offer my expert opinion on the matter in question .

I don't mean to be critical and it's not just aimed at you, OP, but how have we come to the situation that people can't just accept decisions and move on. Everything seems to have to be challenged these days.

Is it a generational thing?

I put it down to education. When I was at school there was no such thing as querying your exam result. You passed or failed and occasionally heard of people re-sitting exams due to exceptional circumstances.

 

[jacko74]

Let me guess, the real reason she only wants part time is because otherwise it will "effect me tax credits innit"

 

[Barcon]

Why?

The way your post reads is like she went for a part time job, didn't get it and was offered a full time job instead.
Not sure what her grievance would be unless I'm missing something.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

they haven't offered her a part-time role so I don't see anything to it.
