Types of Flex

We know that some employers still struggle with the premise of employees requesting to work flexibly and what that actually means. To help companies currently grappling with what flexible working options they can offer their people, here are some of the most common.

Hybrid

Enabling employees to split their time between the workplace and working remotely.

Part Time

When employees are contracted to work anything less than full-time hours.

Flexitime / Full Time Flex

Allows you to choose, within certain set limits, when to begin and end work.

Job Share

Two people do one job and split the hours. This is a great option if you are a career returner.

Term Time

Where you're on a permanent contract but don't work during the school holidays.

Compressed Hours

The central feature is a reallocation of work into fewer and longer blocks during the week. Examples are a 4.5 day weeks and nine-day fortnights.

Annualised Hours

The total number of hours to be worked over the year is fixed but there is variation in the length of the working day and week.

Remote Working

Working all or part of your working week at a location remote from your employers workplace and not in an external dedicated office space.

Working From Home

Regularly spending time working from home e.g. one or two fixed days a week.

Zero Hours Contract

In these roles you have no guarantee of a minimum number of working hours, can be called upon as and when required and just paid for the work completed.
