I did this for a few years -- after my son was born, I started working 30 hour weeks and got paid 75% of my "real" salary, while staying employed normally. Went back full time this year but it worked great while I was doing it. Don't really have any advice; I started as a regular full time employee, and after 9 months or so went to my manager, said "how about I only work 30 hours?" and he said "sure". No issues at all. So just have to find the right company I guess.
