Dropping to 3 days a week - anxious about asking.

[Mia5678]

Hi,

currently work 4 days a week and wanting to drop down to 3 days a week for health reasons. I have endometriosis and PCOS and am in pain a lot. I also have alopecia which has triggered anxiety and a few weeks off work - I’m currently going back to work this week.

I want to request the change to 3 days. I’m getting anxious about asking for the change and also what if it’s refused. I had to go to appeal to get the 4 days a week a number of years ago after I returned from maternity leave.

thanks

do It! Don’t think about it, just put in the request. You need three days and with your health issues this should be supported. Any meetings take the union with you.
