What is flexible working?

Flexible working means tailoring your business' working-hours and locations to suit your employees needs.

What is a flexible working request?

An employee can make a flexible working request if they want to apply for flexible working - and they can make 2 requests in any 12-month period.

Example of flexible working are:

Flexible start and finish times
Job sharing
Compressed hours
Part-time working
Working from home
Phased retirement

Track & record requests in one place

Once a flexible working request has been made, Breathe makes it easy to document and keep track of progress along the way.

You can document the outcome of each request, and even report on how many requests an employee has made in the last year – all in one secure and convenient place.

What our customers say about Breathe

‘Amazing experience’

Love the fact we can do a company blackout stopping staff from booking holidays on certain dates, Holiday calendar lets you see everything in one place, Bradford score is useful & whole team and customer service at Breathe are amazing!

Simon L Small business owner

‘It makes managing leave so much easier’

I like that you can securely store all the necessary information about employees in one place and the holiday calendar means that leave can be calculated correctly and displayed on the calendar. It makes managing leave so much easier.

Creative & Digital Director G2 review

'Great system, really user-friendly'

The holiday calendar is something that we desperately needed and that all staff are finding useful. It's really easy to amend working hours and holiday allowance so it is individual for each member as we have a few part-time staff members working different days.
