Part-time working

Available for over a year

Part-time working: More than 8 million people in the UK now work part-time. For some, working part-time is a choice, giving them time to bring up a family or care for an elderly relative. For others, it's a necessity because they can't find a full-time job in the current economic climate. If you're amongst the millions of part-timers in the UK, do you know your rights? Perhaps you are self-employed and work part-time. If you have children or need to care for a family member, is your employer obliged to let you work part-time? How will part-time work affect your pension, your tax or your benefits? What about maternity rights, holiday entitlement and sickness provision? How can you ensure you're getting the same rate of pay, pro rata, as your full-time colleagues? For all your questions on working part-time, join Paul Lewis and a panel of experts at 3pm.
