The Secretary to the Employer’s Side submitted a report setting out the key changes to the Council’s Flexible Working Policy which had been amended to reflect new statutory rights.
Councillor J Ranger suggested that paragraph 5.1.1 should be clarified by the inclusion of “37 hours a week”. This was supported. In response to a further query regarding the flexitime scheme and “banking” time, the Secretary to the Employer’s Side explained how this worked. She further explained that this did not include everyone, such as those working shift patterns and casual staff working at Hertford Theatre.
The Panel recommended approval of the report as now amended.
RECOMMENDED – that the Flexible Working Policy, as now amended, be approved.
