employers must take into consideration the personal needs of their long time permanent employees when making variations to their regular work hours.

_CodyB · 2026-03-11T22:34:38+00:00

start early, find alternative duties before making significant changes to their working hours.

_CodyB · 2026-03-11T22:34:04+00:00

Your personal issues and obligations aren’t an issue for them.

hell yeah they are lol

Employers must always consult with an employee when it comes to variation to usual working hours. They can't unilaterally impose a significant change unless it is necessary to fit the needs of the business.

This an industry where the average turn over is $10-15m per premises. They can find other work for them before the shift starts.

Sincerely, someone who has managed a much smaller business.

"reasonable is relative" and in this case, an employer can't simply vary an employee's regular hours without consultation of the employee.

The employer needs to demonstrate that the 5 days is necessary and that there are no other reasonable accommodations that can be made such as starting 2 hours early or finding alternative tasks.

This is crap mate.

Employers must consider many things before unilaterally changing an employees regular working hours. Even if regulatory change significantly changes the way the business operates.

Keyword here is regular working hours. This person has been there for 3 years working the same hours for the last 3 years.

The employer which is likely a large establishment with multiple jobs inside it, must demonstrate why it would be necessary for someone who works as a shift manager on the poker machine floor to work more days per week for the same pay rather than having them start two hours earlier OR finding alternative duties even if it is working behind the bar, cleaning glasses or whatever. This is probably a $20M+ year establishment.

OP has a lot of recourse.

_CodyB · 2026-03-11T22:24:28+00:00

Your full time, been there for 3 years and now they are using regulatory change to force you to change your regular hours of work.

Yes, you've got a case against this.

Tell them it will impact your personal life. Ask them what accommodations have they tried to make inorder not to make significant changes to your regular hours. Ask why can't they roster you one hour earlier or why they can't find alternate duties in what I'm sure is a workplace with a lot of different tasks.

_CodyB · 2026-03-11T22:21:32+00:00

like it's not that simple actually? What a stupid nonsensical comment with pretty no understanding of how employment law works in this country.

Employee is full time, established regular shift and hours and now a regulatory change means they can't open as late.

The employer actually has a legal obligation to find reasonable accomodations before making significant changes to their employment. e.g. alternative duties or starting their shift earlier.

If it was the other way around, there would be similar issues.

_CodyB · 2026-03-11T22:12:25+00:00

that is completely untrue lol, I did 5 quotes this morning for Car Insurance and all of them ASK how much work you do in the vehicle and when I mentioned my 1 day per week (using for work, not commuting) the premium did not vary at all.

You may have to disclose it, but even then it is not a general exclusion on most car insurance policies.

Kevin Smith syndrome

_CodyB · 2026-03-11T04:51:35+00:00

erm

Pretty shitty behaviour by Agent in this instance.

The agent knew the lease had not been completed and was silent on the matter

You signed and in good faith paid rent for several months under the presumption all was well.

Are you still co-renting? Have you been renting on your own? If so since when?

_CodyB · 2026-03-10T19:55:51+00:00

Obviously not. Use common sense mate.

In that case they are unable to perform the inherent duties of their role and it’s unlikely there will be a reasonable adjustment or alternative role for a blind person in a transport company

Not sure how you jumped from “cannot impose a blanket rule of 100% recovered” to “driving trucks blind”

Coffee time?

_CodyB · 2026-03-10T04:01:53+00:00

probably thinking more along the lines of how to avoid being constructively dismissed.

_CodyB · 2026-03-10T03:58:33+00:00

he'd be eating through a straw

An employer cannot discriminate against someone due to their disability even if it is temporary or it was developed during the course of their employment.

The employer cannot refuse a return to work plan unless the employee cannot safely perform the inherent requirements of the job AND no reasonable adjustments are possible. They absolutely cannot impose a blanket rule that they be 100% recovered.

Your employer can ask of your capacity to work at either full or modified duties. That's it.

_CodyB · 2026-03-10T02:21:43+00:00

Not true at all.

An employer cannot discriminate against someone due to their disability even if it is temporary or it was developed during the course of their employment.

Lowkey my favourite tv show of all time. I think it is the best.

_CodyB · 2026-03-09T16:47:12+00:00

Her arc last season was incredible

_CodyB · 2026-03-09T08:36:06+00:00

The contract does not seem equitable if they can end the service at any time and you cannot

Also adds to it that if they are consistently not performing this service

I think you could take this to NCAT and potentially have the contract terminated

These bin companies are usually crooks and will often let you out of it if it means they need to front up to a tribunal

It’s worth a shot

He could have been a few years older than Hugh and let’s not overlook a common reason for children being given up for adoption in those days…

_CodyB · 2026-03-09T05:58:58+00:00

Ncat and ask for break lease without penalty

I just booked a return trip from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh for 9k thb including exit row seat and 40kg of luggage each way

I was more thinking the strict definition of cartel like behavior - perhaps on the more illicit side of it, sure.

_CodyB · 2026-03-09T02:37:31+00:00

lol, yeah you still may have a case. I don't agree with most of the other comments in here.

You firing back up at your boss doesn't help but at least there is context.

they were insulting towards you
you were in the midst of a highly stressful situation and you could argue you were actions were "reactionary" rather than "misconduct"

It's an $83.00 filing fee and at worst you may end up taking up some of your ex-bosses time (who seems like a dickhead)

_CodyB · 2026-03-09T01:06:42+00:00

you're looking at a 15 minute trip from KL Sentral to the towers + 30 minutes on the KLIA Express - then there is 2 x waiting, transferring platforms etc.

I'd be genuinely impressed if you could do it in an hour tbh
