Currently on Mat leave. Usually work 5 days per week as assistant manager in retail. One of the other senior staff from the shop stepped up to cover my role while I was on Mat. She is a PT staff member so is doing my role but over 2.5/3 days rather than 5. I have spoken directly to all in the store - manager, my team, the girl covering me and this arrangement works perfectly for everyone. No negative impact at all and it’s saving the company money!
I’ve put in a flexible working request to change to 3 days per week on return from Mat leave on the basis that the current arrangement is working so I believe there would be no negative impact. My work have countered that they need me “at least 4 days per week” and to be available to cover full time hours during all staff holidays.
If they are able to have someone else do my job over 2.5/3 days for almost a year, surely they can manage on this longer term?
