About this Gig
Seeking a better work-life balance? A statutory flexible working request is your legal right, but its success often depends on how well it is presented.

- Legal Compliance: Your request will be drafted to meet all statutory requirements, ensuring your employer has a legal duty to consider it properly.

FAQ
Who is eligible to make a statutory request?
From April 2024, most employees in the UK have the right to request flexible working from day one of their employment. My letter will be structured as a formal statutory request.
On what grounds can my employer refuse my request?
An employer can only refuse a request for one of eight specific business reasons, such as the burden of additional costs, a detrimental impact on performance or quality, or an inability to reorganise work amongst staff. My letter is designed to pre-empt these reasons.
What should I do if my request is rejected?
You have the right to appeal the decision. The strong, reasoned letter we create will form the basis of your appeal. It shows that your initial request was serious and well-considered.
What kind of flexible working can I request?
You can request a change to your hours (e.g., part-time), your times of work (e.g., flexi-time), or your place of work (e.g., working from home or hybrid working).
Why not just write the letter myself?
You certainly can, but my legal expertise allows me to frame the request in a way that is legally robust and commercially astute. I know what arguments resonate with HR and management and how to structure the request for the highest probability of success.
