Common use of Flexi-time Clause in Contracts

Flexi-time. 29.2.1 Subject to business and operational requirements, flexi time provides an employee with the opportunity to vary his/her start and/or finish times around the core business hours for the particular work area. It is not a way to permanently change hours of work. Subclause 29.1 'Variable hours' explains this option more fully. 29.2.2 The following points are indicative of flexi time: a) a proposal to vary working hours is made by the individual employee and which is subject to the agreement of their immediate supervisor; b) flexi time is calculated on the basis of time for time i.e.: 20 mins extra worked = 20 mins credit for flexi time. 29.2.3 The relevant Head of Element will assess whether flexi time is appropriate for an employee within the particular area, taking account of the business requirements. 29.2.4 Normally, an employee may accumulate flexi hours to a maximum of 2 days at any one time. Before accumulating in excess of 2 days the employee must receive approval by the relevant Head of Element or nominee.
