ULPT REQUEST. On behalf of pregnant wife
Posted by Wild_Beginning_4032@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 2 comments
This is a nice grey one. I have a pregnant wife who is a deputy headteacher at a private prep school in the UK somewhere.
She is currently filling out details for her pregnancy risk assessment and at the end of it, it basically says “if we can’t afford your requests we’ll basically just pay you to stay home“
Ia there some kind of ”legitimate“ yet ridiculously non cost effective requirement she could list that couldn’t realistically or fairly be denied but be enough to justify get the school to send her to wfh? Something like a DSE request for a HAD or something else ridic pricey that a private school wouldn’t want to spend their precious money on?

Honestly, frequent enough bathroom breaks if she can’t leave the kids alone I would imagine would be a hard one to accommodate.

A new ergonomic desk and chair? An office right beside the bathroom (if that's inconvenient for them)? Is it an older building that has potential concerns with dust, mold, or asbestos...? Is the parking too far or the walk too long?
Could also talk to a doctor and just get them to do a medical sign-off saying she needs to WFH. Many docs will sign off for mental health concerns, morning sickness, concern for preeclampsia, safety concerns while driving, etc.
