Hello
I am currently on maternity leave from my full-time job. I have applied under the flexible working legislation to return part-time (4 days each of six hours). At the meeting I was told this couldn't be done because it would cost too much to cover my other hours. I stated that I thought it would be possible with some planning and requested a trial period. My manager said he would come back to me about that. No other hours or options were discussed at the meeting. I have now received the letter offering me a 3 month trial period of 5 days each of 6 hours. It does not state why I cannot try the hours I originally requested. These hours do not suit me at all and I feel that I have not been given the option to discuss this. I would like a trial period of the hours I originally requested.
Does anyone know where I stand legally and how best should I proceed? I have not yet responded to the letter.
