How do I say this to employer?

[melfleur]

Hi all.

Going through a divorce. Husband left so I'm solely and fully responsible for young DC.

At the moment, I'm a contractor so only get paid for allocated hours.

I'd like to ask my line manager to hopefully change my contract into salaried because of the reason above and I've also really enjoyed the job thus far - just over a year. Myself and colleague have been nominated to receive an award by a national sector body for the massive difference we've made on a particular project. This may add some weight or so I'm hoping.

Could someone please help me word a 'convincing' email to my line manager. I've also asked last year and was informed that she'd have a chat with her superior and get back to me. As colleagues note/complain, communication isn't her strongest point so I've not heard back.

I'm desperate for job security now!

@LondonWasps wind your neck in. No one’s asking for your careers advice. You don’t know the OP or her organisation and we can only assume that as an intelligent adult she can make her own decision as to why she would want permanent employment and her chances of achieving this.

This i would have a chat first. I feel this is something I’d ask in person as well rather via email.

I’m not entirely convinced OP is outside of IR35 at this point.

I believe my draft email for the op was highlighting benefits to the employer rather than her in making her an employee.

Well done to @OneMoreTime23 for actually answering the question and eye roll to those continuing to just basically trying to score points off one another. Just plain bloody rude at this point.

I like the above email but bar a few more additions about the mutual benefit to you both. It's pretty much spot on for what you're attempting to achieve

Good luck

I meant look for work should she later not have any more work from them, rather than she should look for something else now. I can see my wording was confusing
