Due to anxiety & stress issues, I have requested for a Flexible Work Arrangement that would see me continue as a Full-Time worker but work extra hours each day that would then reduce my working days from 5 to 4 per week.
Currently, I work extra hours to enable an RDO every fortnight, so instead of this, I would work a bit more and basically have 2 extra days in the month. This is to help reduce financial stress and anxiety issues and having to travel one day less a week to our new workplace is really going to help lower my stress and increase my productivity.
I've put this request in writing and my understanding was I needed to have confirmation within 21 days of an answer, is this correct under employment law?
My manager has told me that my request isn't unreasonable, however, they won't be able to work it out properly until we move in 3 months time. I pointed out that others are trialing options for Flexible work and I was told this is for a different reason not due to the move, even though those people told me they were trialing it for the move.
Where does this leave me? I was told to get my request in early rather than later so they can work it out and now I'm being told otherwise.
Thanks once again for any replies given.
I appreciate your time...
