One of key motivators for returning is the option of shorter working year and getting a better work life balance as a result. I'm not sure how widely available the option is a across Government departments, Semi state, Universities etc, would love to get some clarity on this in advance. While I appreciate it's not an automatic entitlement and one that has to work for employee and employer, how likely is an application to be rejected?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
