Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the employer to consult and negotiate with the employees to do more hours at the weekend with recognised compensation for these hours. It would be unfair on the majority of staff if some members of the team did not contribute their share of these unsociable hours when required. This could lead to animosity, a poor working environment and grumblings within the team that could run on for many years. Therefore, would it be unreasonable to be able to terminate a contract if some individuals were totally unwilling to contribute like the remaining members of the team? This is very much a situation that may happen in small and medium-sized businesses. Under this legislation, this could not happen; that is what my amendment seeks to provide for and would, hopefully, be used as the last resort.
