Q. I have asked this a second time because people don't seem to understand the legal rights of working in th UK. I have a Work life balance agreement, and i want to know if it can be changed by the employer. It is in writing. It has NOTHING to do with spare time??? And it is a legal right for everyone to be able to apply for it, but i repeat once you have it can the employer change it, if i want to change i have to wait a year Work life balance is an agreement to be able to change working hours, this is an act passed by government well if your an employer in the UK, you must know about the employment laws, and the right to request work life balance, there are plenty of web pages covering the rights, but i can't find the answer to my question.… [cont.]

A. OK, I don't know what this agreement is, either. But any agreement will contain within it, the terms of the agreement, and how they can be varied, and by whom. So read your copy of the agreement, and see what it says.

A. You can designate specific times and days to developing and growing your personal life. I have always had the opposite problem, can't prioritize on work and always prefer social events therefore ... My social life has always been rich while my work is in and out, even when i had very fulfilling jobs, I just counted the minutes to go home and do my thing :)

A. That is a pretty clever idea. My boss gave out the book "Life Balance: How to Convert Professional Success into Personal Happiness" to us last Christmas, and we loved it. It is filled with good tips and anecdotes about how working hard is important, but that it does not need to be at the expense of your personal life. You can see it here. If you were looking for a cheaper book, this one is not bad. NOt nearly as good as Alan Weiss's, but still a good read. It is called "Fundamentals of Work- Life Balance"
