Flexible Working Hours - Flex Day

 Typically,  in a flexible working hours scheme, where excess hours are built up, they can be used to allow the employee to take a “block” of time off in. This is in addition to offering that flexibility of arrival and departure times to and from work, .

This "block" is called the Flex Day, FlexLeave  or Half Flex Day, Leave (or in some situations even, Flex Days) and can usually taken in the next Accounting Period period.  However, some organisations will have it as part of their flexible working scheme, that employees are allowed to take a Flex Day off - even where excess time has not yet been built up to that point of the Accounting Period.  Others still may not include the build up of time in this way, preferring staff just to take the advantge of flexible working arrival and departure times.

Flexible Working Arrangements

Increasingly the Employee, the Supervisor and the Organisation for which they work are concerned to achieve what is popularly termed as a Work: Life Balance, and look to new ways of arranging working times to suit each of those three parties.

Thus Flexible Working Hours, as a concept, can be considered part of an even larger mix of working time and working location agreements - which are these days referred to as Flexible Working Arrangements. These wider accommodations encompass even more diverse possibilities such as:-

Home Working, Hot Desking, Job Sharing, Work Sharing, Term Time, Variable Working Hours, Annualised Hours, the Compressed Working Week, Part Time Work Voluntary Reduced Hours.

Other Flexible Working Arrangements can fall under the headings ofStatutory Leave, Non Statutory Leave, Employment/Career Breaks and also more specialised arrangements - such as TeleWorking.
