Template: Letter Approving Request for Flexible Work Arrangement

When an employee makes a request for a flexible work arrangement, you must provide them with a written response as soon as practicable, and no later than 21 days after the request is made. Make sure you consider all necessary factors before agreeing to a flexible work arrangement. For example, the type of work, the cost to the business, the affect on other employees and health and safety concerns.

This template will help you to quickly and easily put together a letter approving an employee’s request for a flexible work arrangement. It specifies what the arrangement is, when it will commence, that it will be monitored over time, and the terms of its cessation. To complete this template, replace the red text with the relevant information and customise to your situation and workplace. Add your company logo and carry out due process.
