Advice required. Have submitted a flexible working request to reduce hours. Policy states that the change can be permanent or temporary. I requested a temporary change for a year. The team may be restructured so I was cautious in requesting a temporary change for longer.
Manager agreed, but said once the year is up I must make a permanent decision, to either return F/T or reduce my post permanently to P/T hours. The policy does not state these terms.
I am aware that the policy is generous, and that manager needs clarity of budget etc. The permanent decision is being asked of both men and women working flexibly.
It occured to me that this requirement, to make a permanent change, is harder for me, with my caring responsibilities, than a man who has none. What do others think?

Is this indirect discrimination? Flexible working request.
