Hi, last year I started working family working hours whereby I work 2.5 hours unpaid a week. These hours accrue so that I can take off the six weeks holiday. That added to my annual leave means I get 11 of the 15 weeks holiday off a year. I am absolutely thrilled with this and feel very grateful to my employer. However our department is full of part time mums who are trying to get the same sort of deal. However the Manager has said he can't offer it to everybody since too many people will be off during the school holidays. He is now checking with HR if he can go back on everybody who is working this already and not offer it to anybody else.
Can he do this. I work for a massive insurance company so its hardly a small business which will have no work force. A girl on our department has already applied to do it has had her request turned down because there's two of us working this way already.
