Updated Flexible Working Policy
We have updated our Flexible Working Policy and added a new section to the colleague information pages here:
Our Flexible Working Policy (previously known as Work Life Balance) enables Glasgow Life employees to have reasonable influence and flexibility over when, how and where they work, allowing a diverse workforce to combine their working life with their social, health, family, caring and other responsibilities.
On 6 April 2024, the Flexible Working (Amendment) Regulations 2023 came into effect to include the following changes, and our policy has been updated accordingly:
- Employees have a day one right to request flexible working.
- Employees are allowed two requests per 12-month period.
- Employees no longer need to explain the effect their proposed work pattern will have on the business.
- Managers must consult with employee if request agreed or not agreed.
- Outcome required including appeal within 2 months, unless extended by agreement with employee.
