Checklist: Considering a Request for a Flexible Work Arrangement

Consider requests for flexible work arrangements carefully and on a case-by-case basis. This checklist will assist you to determine whether an arrangement is reasonable. Remember, if you refuse a lawful request for a flexible work arrangement, you must provide reasonable business grounds for doing so. After a request is made, you must provide a written reply as soon as possible, and no later than 21 days after the request.

Understanding your obligations as an employer is important. If you are experiencing difficulty with managing staff, please call CBC Employer Assist (members), or join with a CBC membership https://www.canberrabusiness.com/membership/
