Working while caring

As a carer, you have rights in the workplace. It helps to know your rights so you can get the help you need to combine working with caring.

It’s a good idea to talk with your employer about how to balance being an employee and a carer.

Your employer doesn’t have to agree to your suggestions about arrangements that might help you. But it's still worth asking – you don’t know what the answer will be and you may be able to negotiate a solution.
