your contract above.
Because we know it is important we serve our customers as and when they need us, this may mean we
need you to change the days and time you work and department you work in your store. We will always
give you at least four weeks' notice of any change to your hours, days or department, and take into
account any personal circumstances. In the instance where we might change your department, we will
always make sure you have the appropriate training before being moved.
We may sometimes ask at short notice that you cover sickness or short-term absence but we will always
talk to you about any of these changes.
