Just found out our nanny is leaving in a month or so ( very sad ) and will need to sort out a new nanny. Think that I might use this as an opportunity to ask to work 4 days a week, as desperate to do so.
Bit of background - I'm a solicitor in a big city firm in a department which has never to my knowledge had a proper part worker ie: reduced days. They will so desperately want to say NO, because of the precedent that it will set.
As I understand it under the new legislation they have to seriously consider my request and come up with reasons if they reject my request.
Also I need a quick response as need to find a new nanny quick.
Since my return from maternity leave recently I have been given little client facing work so therefore I don't really think that I need to be at the end of a telephone 5 days a week. That is my strongest argument.
Bit of a long shot really but just wondering if anyone had any helpful suggestions / angles ?
