Advice

Work have declined my flexible working application to go from 5 days (full time) to 3 days (part time) based on service needs. I don’t know what to do as I can’t afford to pay for nursery full time and as you all know, I can’t leave the job for 3 months upon my return. What can I do? 😭 I’m really stuck..

I’m so sorry you are going through this- so frustrating

I think you can appeal and/or take it to HR. Have you explored the reasons for declining

I would go to HR as they should try and sort a job share rather than deny your application without a reasonable other option...

Could you use some AL 2 days a week until you can find something else or sort out alternative childcare or a job share

Could they move you to an area that could accept it?

I had to find another job x
