Before completing this form, read the guidance on the right to request flexible working on GOV. UK, and check that you are eligible to make a request.  \nYou should note that under the right it may take up to 2 months for your employer to consider a request and possibly longer where you have agreed to a longer decision period with your employer. You should therefore ensure that you submit your application to the appropriate person well in advance of the date you wish the request to take effect.  \nIt will help your employer to consider your request if you provide as much information as you can about your desired working pattern. It is important that you complete all the questions as otherwise your application may not be valid.  \nOnce you have completed the form, you should immediately forward it to your employer (you might want to keep a copy for your own records) . If the request is granted, this will be a permanent change to your terms and conditions unless otherwise agreed.  \nNote to the employer  \nThis is a formal application made under the legal right to apply for flexible working and the duty on employers to consider applications in a reasonable manner. You have 2 months after the day you received this application in which to decide whether to grant the request. This period can be extended if you agree to a longer deadline with the employee; any such agreement must be made either within period in which the decision is to be made or in the 2 months immediately following the end of that deadline.  \nYou should confirm receipt of this application using the sample text provided at the end of this document.  \nForms accompanying the guidance have been provided for you to respond to this application.  \n1.

This does not mean that your  request may not be considered, but you will have to explore this separately with your  employer. Many employers offer flexible working to their staff as best practice.  \n2a. Describe your current working pattern and/or the location of your work (days/hours/times worked/place of work):  \n2b.
