Hi all,
Last year we implemented a policy to allow our employees to apply to work a maximum of 2 days (40%) full time equivalent per week from home.
Recently I have had a part time employee question why the calculation for them was rounded down to the nearest whole working day - see below excerpt from policy:
Employees are eligible to apply to work a maximum of two days (40%) full time equivalent (FTE) per week from home. Part time workers are eligible to apply to work a maximum of 40% of their weekly working time from home, rounded down to the nearest whole working day.
I wasn't part of the team who drafted the policy, but was wondering whether this would be considered fair to the part time employee?
Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks
Lesley
