I went into work today to discuss which days I would be working when I come back in January.
I said I'd be happy with the same pattern as before I left of 3 days / week.
Was told there would only be 2 days for me as they have taken on someone new (to cover me) and increased someone else's hours.
I work as a receptionist in a team of 4 part timers so the role is not/cannot be made redundant as it's fairy essential!
Surely they should have only taken one someone short-term to cover me and it should be them cutting their hours not me? Whilst I am pretty sure they didnt expect me to return at all, in all my correspondance I have maintained that I will be returning in January (after 52 weeks ML).
2 days will mean only 12 hours instead of 18 which would mean I would not qualify for any help with childcare from tax credits so I would be forced to resign as I do not earn enough (£6.50/hr) to cover childcare for 2. I will also lose the deposit of £150 for DS's nursery place if I don't use it :(
What can I do?!
