Flexible Working Request Letter

This Flexible Working Request Letter allows employees to request flexible working arrangements. Employers must deal with flexible working requests within a two-month time limit and applications must be dealt with in a “reasonable manner”.

Employees have the right to request flexible working from day one of employment and can make two applications for flexible working in a 12-month period.

The right to request flexible working is a statutory right and the dated, written application for flexible working must:

1. State that it is being made under the statutory right to request flexible working; 
2. Specify the desired flexible working pattern; 
3. Specify the date on which the new pattern should commence; 
4. State whether any previous application has been made and, if so, when.

This letter conforms to these requirements. It contains a number of optional paragraphs and phrases. These are enclosed in square brackets.
