Change of hours

I am returning to work on Monday after a 3 week furlough period and have been told that my basic working week has increased from 37.5hrs to 42.5hrs with no extra pay. As I'm paid by the hour and not salaried, they have effectively reduced my hourly rate. Can an employer do this without a new contract of employment?

Not unless you agree to it. Does the new wage take you under the NMW?0

No it doesn't put me below minimum wage0

Employer and employee both have to agree to the contract according to employment law. Ring acas but ring them at 8 Monday morning and you will get through easy enough.0
