FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS
Longer hours per day equals
fewer days per week!
Ever felt like time just drags on and on when you dont want to be
somewhere?
Well that's why we have introduced flexible working hours so that you
can work an agreed amount of hours spread over a set period of time, so
that you are able to manage more effectively your out of work
commitments.
PART TIME WORK ARRANGEMENTS
This particular option is great for those of you who want to be able to
work in more than one company, or for those of you who perhaps would
prefer to work fewer days.
4 day working week
9 day fortnight
5 day 10am-3.00pm
Take more time to enjoy the finer
things in life
JOB SHARING
Bring wider range of skills
to one position
Job sharing is perfect for those who cannot stay on as full time but
would still love to work as a part time employee in their same
role. The work of one person is split into two and the days are
divided evenly between the two.
FLEXIBLE WORKING YEAR
Want to work less than the standard 48 weeks per year?
The only requirement is that you utilise leave without pay in
some form to cover the extra weeks of leave taken.
Balance the demands of work
and study
WORKING FROM HOME
Sometimes situations occur when we need to be in solitude in
order to complete a project. Or to have to balance the demands of
being a working parent by reducing commuting time. This is the
perfect opportunity to reduce stress and avoid office politics.
Enjoy the comfort of your own
surroundings
CAREER BREAKS
Negotiate with your employer to take extended unpaid breaks of up to months
at a time.
Spend more time doing the things in life that you actually want to be doing.
Take up 10 weeks off per year to spend with your children during the school
holidays.
Undertake travel plans
instead of waiting until you
retire
