# CHANGE OF WORKING HOURS LETTER
Date: 25 March 2031
Parties: Northmoor Analytics Limited and Ellis Morgan
## 1. Purpose and parties
Northmoor proposes to change Ellis Morgan's contractual hours from Monday-Friday, 9:00-17:00 (37.5 hours) to Monday-Thursday, 8:00-18:00 (37.5 hours including the stated breaks) from 1 June 2031. The reason is a genuine customer-support coverage requirement after a service redesign.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
This letter is a proposal, not an effective unilateral variation. Northmoor has considered job shares, voluntary rota changes, recruitment and flexible-working requests. It recognises that the proposed pattern affects caring, religious and health arrangements and invites Ellis to explain any impact.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
Ellis is invited to a consultation on 2 April and may give written comments by 9 April, with a companion where applicable. The parties will discuss alternative patterns and any reasonable adjustment. No change is recorded in payroll or the statement of employment particulars until written agreement or another lawful process.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
If Ellis agrees, the variation will state the new days, start and finish times, breaks, overtime authorisation, review date and notice arrangements. Travel and working-time compliance will be checked; the new schedule must not create unlawful rest or discrimination. HR retains consultation notes and the signed variation.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
If there is no agreement, Northmoor will consider whether the current contract remains, whether further consultation is needed or whether a lawful termination-and-re-engagement proposal is contemplated. It will not imply that a refusal is misconduct or bypass statutory rights.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
Ellis may raise a grievance, make a flexible-working request or appeal a procedural decision. The proposal does not alter pay, holiday, family leave, minimum wage or working-time rights and does not waive unfair-dismissal protection.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
England and Wales employment law applies. Hand, post and hr@northmoor.example are separate permitted notice methods on 25 March 2031. Priya Shah signs for Northmoor and asks Ellis to acknowledge receipt only.
