Interview notice - is there a legal requirement?

Posts: 2 Newbie
The company I work for is currently undergoing a major management restructure, making several positions obsolete. I have been notified that all management positions will have to be reapplied for, therefore I am aware there would be an interview at some point.
The question I have is: is there legally a minimum amount of notice my employer should give me as to when my interview will be held? I ask this because I have been told this morning, that my interview is this afternoon and therefore no time to prepare myself!
TIA.

Whilst not ideal, it's pretty useful from an employer POV.

Is everyone being given such short notice?Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Yes, as far as I'm aware.0

Then its the same for everyone, no issue. Of course...you might get some people that will have planned for this - I'm waiting on a potential interview so am already organising my thoughts/approach.
Doesn't help you now though - good luck!0 -
What a dystopian world of over regulation that would be.:(
I’d personally be gleeful about a move like that. No time to worry and no expectations of a load of preparation. Perfect.0 -
Depends on the job. I remember hearing about a BBC reporters job where applicants were emailed at midnight and told to get to London for early in the morning. It was a test to see if they had to ability to react quickly.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
