Flexible Working Request Letter
EMP.FLEX.01
This Flexible Working Request Letter is for employees making a statutory request for flexible working.
Employees have the right to request flexible working from day one of employment, and employers must deal with requests within a two-month time limit and in a reasonable manner.
What a statutory flexible working request must include
The right to request flexible working is a statutory right. A dated written application must:
- state that it is being made under the statutory right to request flexible working;
- specify the flexible working pattern requested;
- specify the date on which the new working pattern should start; and
- state whether any previous application has been made and, if so, when.
Applications in a 12-month period
Employees can make two applications for flexible working in a 12-month period.
