What does 'flexible working' mean?

The concept of flexible working is very wide, and you could ask for a variety of different work patterns or arrangements under these new rights. These could include:

  • working from home
  • job-sharing
  • teleworking
  • term-time working
  • compressed hours
  • flexitime
  • staggered hours
  • annualised hours
  • self-rostering
