I applied for compressed hours working Monday to Thursday full time hours (38 hrs per week - 8am to 6pm with a 30 minute lunch break), leaving Fridays free for me to be with the children.
This was rejected, one of the major grounds being that the company does not pay employees to work outside the contracted hours of 8.30 - 5pm, so my working 8am to 6pm wouldn't be within the contract hours and they couldn't pay me for the extra hr. This seems very inflexible of the company. In this respect, it seems to me that the flexible working initiative is just a paper initiative, as companies can come up with such justification for rejecting an employee's application to work flexibly. Plus what happens when the children start school?
