Returning from Mat Leave

I’ve become convinced my work don’t want me back after Mat leave.
I am due back in just over 3 weeks. We work on a rolling rota basis and it only changes with staff changes. Weeks ago I received a text from a colleague telling me there were changes. Since then I have e-mailed and repeatedly called asking for my rota. They always say x will phone you by Y. The deadline keeps passing and I call back to get the same line. This morning they said they would call back in 10min and haven’t again.

What can I do?

    Rota comes from central Office, 2-3 hrs away.

    Could you speak to a manager and explain that you have repeatedly asked for the rota and been assured that you will recieve it, but it has still failed to appear. Remind them of your return date (I assume that you have already put this in writing).

    You could also ask colleagues for a copy if the rota is not specific to you.

    I informed them in writing twice. The second time by recorded delivery as the ignored the first. The colleague who told me there were changes has been told off for telling me.
  • Try to keep everything in writing/e-mails etc and keep records of times etc of any phone calls. At least then you have evidence if required to take the Barstewards to the cleaners

    A quick update. They finally called me today. Still refusing me my rota and want me to transfer across the country. I am becoming very stressed as I cannot afford to quit.
