Tier 2 working hrs

[Ash8]

Hello, I am on maternity leave and want to start work back. Can I work on reduced hours. I know that if we have to go for reduced hours then we have to inform Home Office. But do we have to do same if the reduction in working hours is temporary and due to maternity.

further to the above under the section 191 in the tier 2 visa guidelines do we need to make a change in application form if we start with reduced hours say 20 hrs a week instead of 40 hours after maternity leave for few months.... please help

"191. You must also make a change of employment application if you are remaining with the same employer but:
there is a change to your core duties which means you change jobs to a different Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code;
or you are remaining with the same sponsor but there is a change to your core duties which means you change jobs from a job which is currently on the shortage occupation list to a job which is not on the shortage occupation list;
or your pay reduces from the level indicated on your current Certificate of Sponsorship or current work permit, other than changes due to company-wide reductions defined as acceptable in the Sponsor Guidance, or reductions due to maternity or adoption leave."

Just want to know will working on reduced hrs (say 20 hrs a week instead of 40 hrs) effect PR. This reduction is due to resuming work after maternity leave.
