[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1059899, member: 88961"] The U.K. Tribunal system's measure for decision making is firstly the law of the land, so any unlawful behaviour by an employer would not be tolerated, but then their consideration is reasonableness. For example, what would a reasonable person conclude from these circumstances. Sadly, reasonableness is difficult to define as "reasonable adjustments" differ from role to role, and opinions will vary, depending on the material duties and requirements of any given role. An employer is not required to re-write a job description because somebody doesn't want to do something key to their role, and that they have been doing with no outward complaints or problems. That, I believe is where this one might get tricky. If I were in the OPs shoes, and wanted my role to change, I would have to seriously consider what, even if the company agreed, I would be doing in the 30% time I had freed up, and very, very importantly, how that would benefit the company. I think [USER=195751]@IZ THE LEG END[/USER] 's post is extremely worthy of serious thought too. I think he makes an excellent point, worthy of serious self questioning. I do hope you find a solution, but I fear the change may be with you, more than your employer. [/QUOTE]
