Flexible Part Time Employment Sample Clauses
The Flexible Part Time Employment clause establishes the terms under which an employee may work fewer hours than a standard full-time schedule, with flexibility in setting those hours. Typically, this clause outlines how work schedules are determined, the process for requesting changes, and any limitations on minimum or maximum hours per week. By providing a structured approach to part-time work arrangements, the clause helps accommodate employees' needs for work-life balance while ensuring the employer can plan staffing effectively.

Flexible Part Time Employment. The company needs a workforce that is flexible and adaptable to customer requirements. In light of this the parties agree the company will provide during the life of this Agreement a new category of employment to be known as Flexible Part Time employment (FPT). The concept of FPT allows permanent employees to have their days of work varied, within boundaries, and thereby enable the company to increase or decrease the production capability. The FPT arrangements are detailed in appendix One attached to this agreement. The introduction of FPT shall be at the detriment of the casual employment arrangement the company currently has (as detailed in this Agreement). Therefore, over the life of this agreement the parties support a significant move from casual employment in favour of FPT.
