Hi Jhey

You have to write your intentions to work part time to your empoyers and they must respond in writing within 14 days. They legally have to give it serious consideration and have to have a good reason to say no. But to be honest, good reasons can be such as `detrement to the business' `loss to the business' etc. If they write back in 14 days and say No, you can appeal it. Have a look at Acas website. I always find it pretty useful x

Winegirl's advice is spot on.

I went from full time to part time without a hitch really (HR will provide you with the paperwork usually)

Let us know how you get onx
