in April last year my hours were reduced by my employer because of the recession. so was all the other support staff in the company. Everyone went from a five day week to a four day week. They are in the process of reviewing the situation and there is talk of offering us our five days back but everyone has to agree. there is talk that if someone refuses they may consider sacking them on the ground of breach of contract! I don't want to go back on five days as my ds (aged 6) is classed as disabled (not physically apart from fine motor skill problems)and has special needs which result in lots of hospital appointments. i have at least 20 hospital appointments next year.
can they really sack me if i refuse?
Would you put in a request after xmas for flexible working hours so as to avoid any problems that might arise or would you just wait and see what happens?
i don't really want to approach my boss until i really have to as we don't see eye to eye (she doesnt have any children and not very sympathetic when it comes to them)
think this i should have put this in the AIBU threads cos i feel like i need to rant!
