Not usually.
Working hours are generally a term and condition of employment.
While some operational changes may be possible, changing an employee's hours without proper consultation or agreement can expose an employer to legal risk and unnecessary workplace conflict.
Before changing working hours, consider the reason for the change, the employment contract and the practical impact on the employee.

Thinking about changing working hours?
Let's discuss the correct process before you make a decision.

Potentially, yes.
The key questions are what happened, whether there is evidence, whether workplace standards were clear and whether a fair disciplinary process is followed.
Reacting emotionally instead of investigating properly can weaken an otherwise strong case.

Don't panic, but don't ignore it.

Gather your contracts, disciplinary records, correspondence, policies and supporting documents immediately. The quality of your preparation often determines the strength of your case.

Don't assume they've resigned.

An employee who fails to return after sick leave may be absent without leave, medically unfit for work, or potentially have deserted their position.
Each situation requires a different approach and the wrong decision can expose an employer to risk.

Probation does not mean an employee has no rights.
Before considering dismissal, the employee should understand the required standard, receive guidance where appropriate and be given a fair opportunity to improve.
A rushed probation dismissal can still result in a dispute.

Yes. An employee cannot be forced to sign a warning.
Refusing to sign does not automatically invalidate it.
The important question is whether the warning was issued fairly and whether the employee was given an opportunity to respond.

Retrenchment is high risk.
