Dh is a postie - once the backlog from the recent strikes is cleared his hours will be changed from 5am -1pm to 6.15am - 2.15pm
I work 5 hours and my employer is quite flexible.
I dont drive and rely on him to take me to and from work as well as looking after our children in the afternoons
To try and accomodate his new hours into our routines he has been working his 40 minute break and on his rota (1 in 6 weeks) week off, I now build up enough lieu to only work 4.30 hours a day work so he can pick me up at 6.30 as opposed to 7 or later if he did'nt work his break.
This week RM now announce that the 40 minute breaks are to be split and 20 minutes taken in the morning and 20 minutes at the end of the shift if wished.
MY emplyer has been brill up to now, but is now saying that to work past 6.30 is not 'desirable' as it is outside of core hours - understandable. And that a further reduction in my hours either by building more lieu or actually cutting hours and taking a paycut is not worth thier while as I cannot serve the business.
I am at my wits end - what else can we do?
