Flexible Working Application form

1. Flexible Working Application Form for Staff on Simply Safe Care Group Terms and Conditions

Please make sure you read WPE02 - Flexible Working Policy and Procedure. this form is to be used in conjunction with this policy. The right to request flexible working was introduced in 2003 for parents of young and disabled children and the scope of the law was extended to carers of certain adults in 2007. Any request that is made and accepted under the statutory right will result in a permanent change to the employee’s contractual terms and conditions. The employee has no right to revert back to their previous working pattern.You should note that under the right it may take up to 14 weeks to consider a request before it can be implemented and possibly longer where difficulties arise. You should therefore ensure you submit your application to the appropriate person well in advance of the date you wish the request to take effect.
