| Event Summary | This course sets the process employees should follow when making a flexible working request and how such requests will be handled | ||||||
| Event description | Schools recognise that employees may wish to change their working pattern / arrangements for a variety of reasons and recognises that allowing this can support the retention of experienced staff and support wellbeing and work life balance. This course focuses on what schools can do to accommodate these requests and more. Flexible working arrangements can increase staff motivation and improve performance and productivity. This course sets the process employees should follow when making a flexible working request and how such requests will be handled. All flexible working requests will be considered and will be managed objectively and fairly. There is no obligation under the flexible working legislation for employers to agree to a request, however, requests will only be rejected where there is a valid business reason for doing so. A flexible working requests are made by an employee for a permanent change to their contractual terms and conditions of employment. Examples of changes employees may request include changes to: • Their overall hours of work (including part time or job share) • Their working times / pattern • Work from home or change their place of work Any agreed change to the contract of employment as a result of a flexible working application will result in a permanent variation to the contract. If the employee is requesting a temporary change to their working pattern/arrangements this is outside the scope of the flexible working legislation and this policy . The only way for an employee to further change/amend their working pattern or return to their previous working pattern will be to make a further flexible working request, although an employee may still only make one request within any period of 12 months. |
