However, whether a particular flexible work arrangement is feasible for a particular employee depends on a variety of factors, including the nature of the work assignment and characteristics of the employee. An employee who needs to have constant, easy access to materials or to equipment may be required to be present when those materials or pieces of equipment are accessible. No employee should be permitted to work in situations that are potentially dangerous, due to equipment or security concerns. There are, however, ways to work around some of the above concerns. Your Employee Relations Specialist can help you determine what might be feasible.
Employees have a right to flexible work arrangements.
Assignment of schedules and work locations is a basic management right. Employees may request consideration, but they do not have a right to any particular arrangement. It will be difficult to evaluate performance. If I'm on a flexible schedule, I can come and go as I please. Also, attendance records must be kept , just as for employees on more traditional schedules.
