Can anyone tell me when their requests for flexible working were submitted to / agreed by their employers? I applied in writing before I went on Maternity Leave in August & was told that a decision couldn't be made as my Manager didn't know what the business requirements would be more than 12 months hence. I emailed my HR dept & my Manager last week & asked whether they could reconsider my application. They said they still weren't in a position to know what the business requirements would be when I return on sept 1st as it was still 6 months away. I have spoken to ACAS & apparently all this is legal as they haven't refused my request. Am i wrong in thinking I am being treated unfairly? I am on 3 waiting lists for a nursery space & am hopefull to be offered a space at the end of March, though i know they will want to know which days I want or if I need full time. Any info greatly appreciated.
