CUTTING HOURS OF WORK

Apologies Donenow1

I read into your post that your daughter was the primary reason and that your husband's situation added to it.

Am seriously thinking of cutting hours to help Daughter ( she does have a lovely partner as well) and as well as that, the Care needs of my own partner are increasing.

Be wary of cutting hours to "help" your daughter. She and her partner are a team and may not want or need this.

Especially as you are caring for your partner who you say is getting increasingly more in need of help... He is your family commitment at the moment.

Partner is actually the very main reason I'm thinking of cutting.. I'd like to be around for Daughter but only if she wants or needs it but regarding my own partner there is coming a time where cutting of hours may well be the best way forward... when that comes I shall also look into carers allowance.

Get a benefits check - AgeUk are really good.

Do you get Carer's Allowance?

Just speak to your manager I’m sure they’ll want to keep a valued member of staff.

I can’t follow this.

Have a look at your works flexible working policy...that will give you guidance on how to go about requesting a reduction in hours

Just to be honest really
