Re: Family friendly hours
Regrettably there are no rules regarding family friendly working, other than you have a right to request them. RM don't have to agree but they should explain any reasons for refusal.

Re: Family friendly hours
I am not an expert on this subject, but it happens I was discussing this subject with my local CWU representative last week in connection with a member of staff who looks after a disabled husband.
I believe I am correct in saying that mothers with young children are entitled to assistance. In my last office I worked with a lady with young children who never worked in school holidays, and only worked during school hours.
I suggest you speak directly to Post Office Ltd Contact Centre on 0845 6016260 as well as having a chat with your local CWU Representative.
Unfortunately many of us are saddled with less than supportive local managers so expect some reticence...
