Common use of Work Sharing Clause in Contracts

Work Sharing. 15.1 The implementation and operation of the work-sharing arrangements is at the discretion of management, who retain the discretion to alter, reduce and/or standardise the range of work sharing patterns available to staff having regard to the specific business needs of their organisation. 15.2 No work-sharing pattern approved in the future should be less than 50% of full time working hours. Staff currently on patterns of less than 50% can retain the work pattern on a personal to holder basis. 15.3 Each individual’s work-sharing arrangements will be formally reviewed on an annual basis (or earlier if required). Where such a review has not yet taken place a review must be completed by the end of 2013. 15.4 Management’s discretion to alter or change an individual’s work-sharing arrangements, on the giving of due notice (3 months), is confirmed. Management reserves the right, on reasonable business grounds and with reasonable notice, to refuse access to the scheme, to require a person to vary their work-sharing arrangements, or to require a person to resume full time work.
