This policy has been updated to comply with the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023.

This Flexible Working Policy details employees' statutory rights to apply for flexible working and employers' duty to consider an application. Employers who use this policy will help protect against claims, including claims for sex discrimination.

Examples of flexible working include changing working hours, working from home, staggered working hours, flexi-time, time off in lieu, job sharing, shift working/shift swapping, school term time working, reduced working time, and self-rostering.

The clauses in this policy include:

• Policy Statement
• Criteria
• Notification Requirements
• Appeals
• Date of Implementation
• Questions
• Alteration of this Policy

Under the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023, employees have a day-one right to request flexible working.

An employer has a statutory duty to consider any such request seriously. For this reason, it is important to have a clear, Flexible Working Policy in place.
