7. Making an Application
All requests must be made in writing by filling the application from FW (A). Any request under this policy must include:
- Date of the application.
- A statement that it is a request for flexible working.
- The changes that the employee is seeking to their terms and conditions
- The date on which the employee would like the terms and conditions to come into effect.
- Whether or not the employee has made a previous request for flexible working or a request for a predictable working arrangement and if so when the employee made that application.
All requests, including any appeals, must be decided within a period of two months from when the manager first receives a valid request, unless the manager and employee agree to extend this period. If an extension is agreed, the manager should confirm this in writing to the employee.
