Flexitime

Flexi-time is a system where employees can choose when they work within agreed parameters. This is subject to working an agreed number of hours over a specified reference period, which is often 4 weeks. Consideration should be given to whether there is a core period of the day when employees must be at work. A maximum number of additional hours can be worked during the period, and the timescale within which the hours are to be taken should be agreed upon. Employees should be allowed to carry over a specified debit or credit of hours between reference periods. The employee's request for when they wish to take the hours back should be authorised by the manager.

For all flexible working requests there are eligibility criteria outlined in the policy. To see the full details of Flexitime and details on how to apply, please look at the Flexible Work Pattern Policy found in the link:
