10. ONGOING EMPLOYMENT
Once you have submitted a valid application for flexible working, the Company will contact you to arrange a meeting, which will take place as soon as possible and not later than 28 days from the date the application is submitted. Your Manager will then discuss how the pattern of working you have requested might be made to work. If your request is granted, it will mean a permanent change to the terms and conditions of your employment, unless agreed otherwise. You may choose to be accompanied by a work colleague during any meetings should you so wish.
The company will inform you of their decision in writing and you will have the right to appeal the decision should you so wish. All flexible working requests will be completed within three months of the request being made, including the conclusion of any adjustment or appeal which may become necessary.
