Does anyone have any advice. I am on maternity leave and was working 4 days a week. I have requested to go back to my teaching job 3 days a week. My head says I can do 3 days as of 1st june but the situation for september would need to be reviewed. I'm not going back until 13th July so I can get paid for summer hols. I need to reply to Head confirming I want to do 3 days in september but NUT says I have to state reasons why it would be better for me to work 3 days rather than 4 - can anyone come up with ideas? I have 2 already the fact that a colleague in my department already does 3 days and another colleague who is on maternity and who is head of hummanities has been told she can do 3 days as of september so why can't I - going for the equality card and the fact that a precedent has been set. Also when I worked 4 days I still ended up doing full time work - e.g. being a form tutor. I really need help as this whole thing is getting me upset and stressed. I feel like not going back but then I would have to pay back some of my maternity pay. HELP!!!!
