I work Mon - Fri 9-6 with 1 hour lunch break, this is in my contract. My employer wants to change hours to 9.30 - 6 with 1/2 hour lunch break. Can I refuse to change my hours? I would rather keep to my 1 hour lunch break.
Changes to your contract of employment in Ireland can occur due to a change in the law, but otherwise, changes must be agreed between your employer and yourself. The requirement for both the employer's and the employee's consent to changes in the terms of the contract is part of contract law.
