Flexible working
Show your support
So pathetic 😭
Can you appeal?
They can't just reject it. It now has to go to the divisional board, but chances are they will follow tour managers decision.
I’m a social worker and have had my flexible working request approved. Legally they need to provide robust reasons as to why they have refused. I would appeal against their decision, particularly in a profession that should be sensitive to work life balance. Have a look at the pregnant then screwed website xx
Thanks for comments ladies, basically I have asked to work 3 days a week and to finish at around 5pm as I need to pick up my baby from nursery at 6. They are not accepting because they said I won’t be able to complete my work sufficiently and not good for the business. They want me to be flexible for after school visits and out of area visits which is usually beyond 6pm She clearly has said that I need to look elsewhere and that if I decide to go back I need to be full time as it’s too late to put flexible into place now
Sounds like they are not being reasonable at all. I
I'm a nurse and have flexible working? Similarly unsociable hours to social work. I don't see why they should reject your request depending on what you asked for?
