Variation to Hours of Work Clause Samples

The 'Variation to Hours of Work' clause allows an employer and employee to modify the standard or previously agreed working hours. This clause typically outlines the process for proposing changes, such as requiring advance notice or mutual agreement, and may specify limits on how much hours can be varied or under what circumstances changes are permitted.
