I'm sure there must be lots of these posts but does anyone know where I stand at all?
I work for a solicitors which is deemed essential work at least according to my employers. Currently no childcare as my mother who usually cares for my daughter falls very much into the high risk category (age, diabetes, has had spleen removed!)...so legal work is deemed as key work according to employers but of the 7 childminders I have spoken to today and yesterday nobody is willing to take on my 2 y/o (cant really say I blame them!)
They wont lay me off so I cant do the 80% wage thing, and I've had to take annual leave this week until I can sort something out. After that its unpaid leave.
I cant live on unpaid leave, but I feel I'm stuck and have no option but to leave my daughter with my mum which I really, really don't want to do.
They aren't set up to work from home so that's out of the question too.
Is there another option I'm not thinking of here?
TIA
