Flexible working can mean a lot of different things to different people. Lincolnshire has a comprehensive set of policies aimed at supporting an employee’s work-life balance.
Lincolnshire aims to support agile and homeworking as and when it suits employees’ needs.
Here are the initiatives supported by Lincolnshire County Council:
- Job sharing
Where two employees agree to split the responsibilities of one job.
- Flexible working hours
Working flexible hours while still fulfilling your statutory quota and providing a satisfactory service is achievable. It is very much dependent on the service area supported and capacity within the teams. Flexible working arrangements are assessed on a case by case basis, whether that is someone wanting to work compressed hours, a nine-day fortnight or have more flexibility around start and finish time.
- Flexible working patterns
This includes approaches such as annualised hours, term-time only working and compressed working weeks/fortnights.
- Reduced hours
The council will consider requests to reduce an employee’s work hours on a temporary basis with their pay adjusted accordingly and taking an extended unpaid leave of absence.
