Thank you for your question. In law, in order to effect a variation to a contractual term, there is a requirement for an employer to adequately consult in relation to the proposed change.

 




 


The circumstances that we currently face with the pandemic are such that many employers do not have a choice but to make cuts to ensure that they can continue to operate.

 




 


If you are not happy with the variation you can object to it, if the employer proceeds then you have the option to resign and treat yourself as having been constructively dismissed. If you continue working there is an argument that you have affirmed the breach (accepted it) unless you work under protest.

 




 


The reality is that if this is for 3 months, in order to have job security in what is an uncertain market employers proceed with making unilateral changes without consent in the hope that the risk of employees bring any claims are low.

What should I do next?

The first consideration is if there are any staff policies or employment contracts in place that govern this. If there are not, then it will be difficult for your employer to enforce this - particularly where you have your client's consent to take their photo/a video of their hair.

You will nonetheless need to take into accout the relationship with your employer and consider whether your desire to snap your clients is worth the potential breakdown in relationship.

Early conversations and agreements always help in this regard.
