Working hours
Our standard working hours are 8:30am until 5:00pm Monday-Thursday, with an early finish at 4:00pm on Friday. However, there may be occasions where we require you
to vary your hours or work overtime. If you are a full-time Team Member, the company reserves the right to vary your starting and finishing times, whether temporarily or on a continuing basis, whilst not increasing your overall working week of 37.5 hours other than when overtime is required.
If you are a part-time Team Member, the same principle applies but your overall working week will be specifed in your offer letter.
Home working
We provide a home working allowance to all home and field-based Team Members. In certain circumstances where we require all Team Members to work from home, all other Team Members are also eligible for this allowance. More information can be found in the Policies section in our IRIS HR system.
Flexible working
We believe that flexible working can increase Team Member motivation, promote work-life balance, reduce stress and improve overall performance and productivity. We therefore allow you to plan and manage your working days to meet your contracted hours of work. In agreement with your
line manager, you can be flexible with your start and finish times, as long as our core hours of business, 10am – 2pm, are worked.
All Team Members who have a minimum of 26 weeks’ continuous service can request permanent flexible working by following the flexible working policy.
We also close down between Christmas and New Year and, if Christmas Eve lands on a weekday, you get that day off in addition to your holiday allowance.
