Hi, my name is lola1976! Can my employer refuse reasonable adjustments if I request part time work?

Since April of this year, all employees, regardless of their status, have the right to request flexible working arrangements from their very first day of employment. If you're requesting adjustments under the Equality Act, employers are required to consider these requests. However, employers are not obligated to approve every proposed adjustment. If an employer can demonstrate that the requested changes are unreasonable given the specific circumstances of the business or role, they may still decline the request.

Hi @lola1976, Welcome to the community. I can see MW123 has given a very detailed answer to your question, so I hope that helps clear things up. There's some information about reasonable adjustments on the Scope website if you'd be interested to read it:
