Hi tabsboy - your rights at work could depend on how long you've been working for them. Everyone can request different working patterns but an employer is not legally bound to give you the working pattern you want. Your request can be strengthened by occupational health who may recommend certain working hours. There are laws surrounding the Disabilities Act - if you go to a citizens advice bureau they will give you employment advice for free and tell you what your rights are with regard to working hours/patterns. All employers are supposed to try and make it possible for people to remain working. I know when I spoke to occupational health about my own circumstances, they registered me as having a chronic illness which means my employers have to give me reasonable time off for hospital/dr appointments and consider requests for fewer hours etc if I need it rather than end up being signed off sick. So far I haven't needed to use it as my employers are great and I can arrange my diary to suit what I can do, including working from home at times.
Hope this helps

Hello Peter
Don't worry many people find it confusing at first.
To post a new thread first decide which section you wish to post in and open it up by clicking on the name of the section.
This is a link to the Symptoms section, for example
http://www.thelupussite.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=39
This is a link to the index page that lists all the forum sections
http://www.thelupussite.com/forum/index.php
You will see a listing of all the threads in that section over several pages. At the top left and bottom left of each page just above and just below the list of threads you will see a blue box like this
When you click on this a message form comes up. Fill in the title area with a title that indicates the precise topic of your post not some general title When you have written your text scroll down to see 'Submit New Thread'
Hit that to send your post.
Good Luck !
Clare
