A Yorkshire college caretaker who said he couldn't work Saturdays because of his caring responsibilites has lost a tribunal for unfair dismissal - after a judge found he was 'aggrieved' about no extra pay

An employment tribunal in Leeds heard that the college had told Mr Horrobin that ‘realistically’ his hours would not be substantially different as they were prepared to be flexible, but he became worried that under the contract’s terms, it could be upheld to the letter.

Mrs Simpson strongly refuted that she knew of his caring responsibilities, only that his line managers had made concessions for him previously. In the meeting, she claimed he only mentioned shopping for his father-in-law when asked about his family commitments and did not raise any issues.She said she felt many concessions had been made and that a lot of the proposed duties had already been stripped out of the original job description.

Mr Horrobin answered no when he asked if he had objected to ‘unilateral changed being forced on him’, but Mr Menon then discussed the contents of a grievance submitted to the college on July 18, which referred to ‘forced unilateral variation of contract’, a ‘lack of transparency’ and a ‘significantly increased workload without higher salary’, but made no mention of his caring responsibilities.
