Hi all,
My employer has it in our contract that we are entitled to negotiate a return to part-time work when coming back from maternity leave. Given how they got around the half-pay entitlement (a previous thread I posted) I'm actually a bit uncertain as to whether they'll honour this one or not.
I've informed my work that I cannot return full-time, and that I cannot return to the location where I currently work- it's 1hr10mins by public transport from me, and roughly the same in peak hour by car. My preference is to return part-time and to the location closest to my house, but I have to negotiate that closer to the return date. Oh well, I've a year to spend wondering about it.
Hope all goes well for you.
Kirsten
