Hi all so recently my job keeps asking me and my very small team to undertake additional tasks when we are already inundated with our own work. In my contract under job title/duties it states ‘You may be required to undertake other duties from time to time and in any Group Company team or department undertaking such work as the Company may reasonably require to meet the needs and requirements of any Group Company.’
So basically, my question is, is it reasonable to be asked to do other tasks when I’m struggling to get through my actual work? Is there anything I can do about this or does this part of my contract kind of screw me over? BTW I’m ALWAYS happy to help with other work where I can but currently it is extremely difficult as my current role is low on staff atm due to absences and it’s difficult to get through my actual work so I’m just trying to figure out what I can do about this
