[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 513094, member: 88961"] Unless your HR advisor is the HR Director, I can't imagine the statement, "he said it was up to our HR advisor though" is water tight. At the very least there will be an escalation process if the response isn't what you have hoped for. I may be well out of hand here, but your manager is coming across as weak to me. If he was willing to support an (extraordinary ?) pay rise for you recently, in order to retain you, why is he not making more fuss about your situation now? Unless he really doesn't understand what you are going through? If your union has no local experience of your situation, then they can find out, from within their organisation, perhaps? Or even consult legal counsel accordingly, on your behalf? Otherwise, my gut feel is it's time to take legal advice yourself. You may be fortunate to have legal assistance included in an insurance policy, bank account, or credit card. It's worth looking. Otherwise, a decent solicitor, specialising in employment law, will be £400 - £600 an hour, although many will offer a free initial meeting to discuss a problem. Then the fee clock starts to tick. It's all a bit rubbish really, but I can't hear any fat persons warming up their vocal cords just yet. [/QUOTE]
