Letter to Request for Flexible Working Schedule

A Letter Request for Flexible Working Schedule is a letter used by an employee to request for a change in work schedule. The letter can ask for a flexible working schedule or a change in the work schedule.

A flexible working schedule could refer to committing to work a certain number of hours for a certain period (ex. 40 hours per week), however, the schedule of when the work will be performed will be up to the employee. On the other hand, a change in the work schedule could mean requesting for a different work schedule than the one that he currently has. It could also be a request for a different place to perform the work while maintaining the same schedule.

Either way, this letter allows the employee to outline or explain the change that they are requesting.
