Ineligibility to Request Flexible Working Letter

This Ineligibility to Request Flexible Working Letter is used after an employee has submitted a written flexible working request or a flexible working application form, and the employer needs to explain that the employee is not eligible to make the request.

The right to request flexible working is a day one employment right. However, an employee may still be ineligible in some circumstances, for example if they have already made two flexible working requests in the previous 12 months.

Explaining why a flexible working request cannot proceed

This letter enables the employer to respond clearly where a request cannot be considered because the employee does not meet the eligibility requirements.

Handling ineligible requests reasonably

Employers must handle all flexible working applications in a reasonable manner. Using a clear written response helps record the employer’s position and explain why the request cannot go forward.
