Flexible Working

flexible workingFlexible working is a way of working that suits an employee’s needs, for example, you may want to
  • reduce your hours to work part-time
  • change your start and finish time
  • have flexibility with your start and finish time (sometimes known as ‘flexitime’)
  • do your hours over fewer days (‘compressed hours’)
  • work from home or elsewhere (‘remote working’), all or part of the time
  • share the job with someone else

All employees have the legal right to request flexible working – not just parents and carers.

This is known as ‘making a statutory application’.

Employees must have worked for the same employer for at least 26 weeks to be eligible.
