Are you asking if an employer needs to put in place special hours if you have kids?

In the main, no they don't.

I think you need to have worked there a set amount of time, either 6 or 12 months, but it is a request only and they can deny it if there is a business need

Basically I've just started my new job , they know I'm a single parent .

Have to go away for training leave early and come back late , and il only be paid for the hours between 10-4 not the travelling time ..: now I don't know how I can find child care that early in the day no clubs etc are open and it's not fair for friends , plus I would have to pay for the after school club out of my own pocket as I wont be paid from 4pm ..... It's training and my second week so I'm all worried about This

It's called flexible hours, you need to be in work for 26 weeks

Did they tell you about this during your interview and when they offered you the job ?

If your starting a new job my advice would be join unison they will give you all the advice you need and be there to back you up of you need them

Never start a new job without a union

Was told and agreed to be flexible with working hours of 9-8 pm , which is fine , but not told I would have to do extra hours during my training for free .

My contract states I must be given four weeks notice of shifts .

I am happy to do it , but would rather have the five hours extra that I will be having to do to travel there , off my working week !

I am only doing 16 hours so it's a fair chunk !

As long as can get the child care . Got a funny feeling this is gonna end up a nightmare and they won't be flexible
