“By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.”
--Anne Morrow Lindbergh

    Flexible Working Arrangements usually mean:
  • Working a few days a week (e.g. 3 days per week)
  • Working flexible hours within a week (e.g. 18 hours over any 5 working days of a week)
  • The hours could be fixed (e.g. 9am – 12pm every day) OR they could be casually arranged with the employer (you can choose which hours to come in, as long as you fulfill 18 hours)
  • Sharing a job (2 people to do 1 role)
  • Working some hours from home and some hours in the office.
  • Freelance work which only requires you to commit to a certain project (Hours are usually negotiated with the employer on a project basis)
  • Contractual work that requires you to commit for a short period of time (usually no more than 2 months)
