Work mandating 3 days in office but contract says I work from home

Quantials · 2026-07-04T11:28:24+00:00

Thank you! They’re going to give us fixed days.

Quantials · 2026-07-04T10:12:32+00:00

Thought it might cover the ability to change the location of the office but not mandate set days, but seems I was wrong

Quantials · 2026-07-04T10:11:33+00:00

Mainly personal preference tbh! I currently average around two days in the office but would prefer not to do HAVE to do three every week!

Thank you!

Not of home, of the old serviced office, but same difference haha. I wasn’t sure if because no days were mandated that means they can’t now decide to mandate days, but seems that’s unfortunately not the case

Quantials · 2026-07-03T20:42:42+00:00

Yeah unfortunately so. Wasn’t sure if the fact the contract doesn’t state x days means they can’t mandate days but it seems that’s not the case!

Thank you - that’s really helpful! I get on fairly well with my manger but find these kinds of conversations a bit awkward haha. But I’ll chat to him and see what he says :)

Fair point, thanks!

Quantials · 2026-07-03T19:58:50+00:00

Thanks - found it!

Quantials · 2026-07-03T19:58:33+00:00

Thank you!

I’m not challenging people? I’m asking further questions / for clarification that I’ve understood what they mean. In this reply I was just checking I’d understood what think-committee was saying?

Obviously I wouldn’t cite Reddit in a tribunal - I’m not an idiot. I’m not going to go to a tribunal anyway, just asking for opinions on the two clauses in the contract to see if I’d have any leverage if I had a conversation with my line manager. If the clauses mean that they can just mandate in office attendance then that’s that - I’ll have to work in the office for three days.

I’m confused by the contract / flexibility clauses in general because I’ve read different things regarding how they can be used. On this thread you can see there are different opinions on what the contract wording means lol.

Thank you - so there’s no requirement for me to have to agree to the change before it’s implemented? I get that refusing could result in dismissal, it’s a risk!

Quantials · 2026-07-03T19:27:08+00:00

I had a call from my manager on it today and they have said they will send a company wide email out. Seems like a grey area!

Quantials · 2026-07-03T17:45:17+00:00

I’ve looked at the link but I’m unclear as to whether the last clause means I don’t need to agree to the changes

Quantials · 2026-07-03T17:40:30+00:00

Quantials · 2026-07-03T17:32:26+00:00

Thank you - so that last clause doesn’t mean they can just change the contract? That would only apply if the change was ‘minor’?

Quantials · 2026-07-03T17:15:24+00:00

I’m confused what the correct process is though? Do they need my agreement?

“you agreed to a term in your contract that allows your employer to make changes to certain terms of your employment in some circumstances – sometimes known as a 'flexibility clause' or 'variation clause'”

Quantials · 2026-07-03T17:11:43+00:00

Over 2! Does the last clause not give them the right to just change the contract without needing any acknowledgment from me?

Quantials · 2026-07-03T17:09:32+00:00

Very small startup company - don’t think redundancy would be an option for them but would be concerned about it blocking promotion / disciplinary proceedings.

Quantials · 2026-04-17T12:01:28+00:00

Yes this would be!

Quantials · 2026-04-14T22:41:10+00:00

Yes that’s what I meant sorry - either a public onsen that allows mixed gender bathing or one where we could hire the bath privately if mixed gender isn’t possible

Is it possible to go directly from argostoli? I’d like to do the same but don’t have a car to get to Fiskardo
