Best Employee Management Thread 2008
An employee has requested to amend his contracted working pattern to come into the office earlier and leave earlier – this is to fit in with car sharing with his partner and something that fits with our ‘green’ policy. His manager is happy to accommodate this request as it does not impact on the role. However, I am concerned that this will open up the floodgates for other employees in similar roles to make a similar request; we can accommodate 1 or 2 persons but do not want the majority of our workforce changing hours because we have allowed it for 1 particular employee. Any suggestions on how to deal with this anticipated increase in requests for flexible working would be very much appreciated.
