Can anybody help me with this? I’m asking due to thinking of reducing my hours further in the future.
Until 2010, I worked full time, 37.5 hours a week.. I decided then to reduce my hours to 30 hours for family reasons. I now work 4 days a week instead of 5.
At the time, my then manager was issuing us with new uniforms, and having reduced my hours, I was expecting the same amount of tops/skirts etc as my other part time colleagues, pro rata.
Anyway, when I received my uniform, I found she’d given me the full time equivalent.
I questioned this to her, thinking she’d forgotten I reduced my hours, and she replied something on the lines of: you reduced your hours, but you still have full time rights......
(Not that I’m moaning about having more uniform than I think I should have, as it’s a bonus for washing 😄)
And dh says the same, but still it doesn’t sound right.
Surely, I’m classed as part time being below 37.5 hours a week, so why would I be still given full time rights? Is there some sort of cut off point/middle ground, like say if I go under 30 hours, I would then be classed as part time?
Confused isn’t the word. Please help. Many thanks.
