Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help me to fill out a flexible working request.
On the form it says I need to write what affect this will have on the company and colleagues. I am applying to go from full time to 3 days a week.
I also wondered if this request shouldn't be a reasonable adjustments request instead. My boss have already made it clear to me that the business can't accommodate part time working, but it's due to my disability that I would like to request to work 3 days a week.
Not sure where I stand with this, I already have a employment tribunal claim against my work and they have admitted all their failures but is now sending me to a specialist because they say autism doesn't fall under the equality act.
I really want to work and I am worried I will never find another job.
Hope someone can help me with this flexible working request.
Thank you.
Autism does fall under the disability and equality acts.
But only, if you have a formal autism diagnosis!
I do have a formal autism diagnosis.
my employer also sent me to OH who also confirmed my disability but they are still not happy now they are paying for a specialist. :(

I believe that no formal autism diagnosis is necessary to fall under the Equality Act.
