I have been in my current job for 2 years now - it is a small company. For the first 18 months I was working in a shared office with 2 others and everything was great. We then had to vacate that office as the building was being torn down so - rather than rent a new office for the 3 of us - we had to split up. I ended up in a large, walk-in cupboard at one of our locations with no natural light and a damp problem. Almost immediately I got sick and have been ill, off and on, ever since.
Last week, the furniture in my office was collected by the person who used to rent the office on a part-time basis so I was left with just my PC - no desk or chairs. Since this time I have been working from home and have found that I much prefer it to working in a dank, dark cupboard.
I have asked my boss if we can make this a permanent arrangement as he knows that I can do all of my work from home as it's all online. Also, as I haven't had a pay rise in all the time I've been there I reasoned that it would save me money so I wouldn't need a raise. He said no straight away with no reason. I let him know that I was disappointed and sent him an official application under The Employment Act 1996 for Flexible Working.
Is there anything else I can do?
