You can use this letter to apply for flexible working if you're:
an employee working in the UK; or
an agency worker or employee shareholder returning to work after taking parental leave in England, Wales or Scotland.
Flexible working is a broad term used to describe a variety of different working patterns, including working from home, working part time or job sharing. Anyone can make an application for flexible working, although only certain people have a legal right to make a request.
The questionnaire will work out if you qualify for the legal right to make an application for flexible working. If you don't qualify, you can still use this letter to ask your employer to change your working pattern, but they won't be legally required to consider your request.
The document also contains a receipt for your application, that your employer should sign, date and return to you.

If your employer rejects your flexible working request, you can use this letter to appeal their decision. You can only use it if you have a legal right to apply to work flexibly in the UK. The rules for appealing differ depending on which country you work in:
If you work in Northern Ireland, you have a legal right to make written appeal within 14 days of receiving your employer's refusal.
If you work in England, Wales or Scotland, you don't have a legal right to appeal, but your employer should comply with the Acas Code of practice on handling flexible working requests. This states that you should be given the opportunity to appeal. There isn't a time limit to appeal, but you should do so promptly, as, by law, employers must finish dealing with your application within 2 months of you making it.
You can't use this letter if you don't have a legal right to apply to work flexibly.
