[QUOTE="mfactor, post: 1147421, member: 67718"] As a union rep I dealt with a lot of flexible working agreements over the last few years, and there is a lot of misinformation out there, you have a [B]right to ask[/B] and you have a [B]right to[/B] have your request fairly looked at, but you [B]do not [/B]have a right to it, we found the best approach was to go in with a plan already worked out... For instance we had a guy who did not want late finishes but there was a colleague who hated getting up early so he agreed to do permanent lates, so no effect for the business... you need to show [B]no detriment to the business[/B] [B]and no detriment to workmates... [/B] If you then meet the manager with these conditions met he then would be hard pressed to justify refusing you....:) [/QUOTE]
