Members potentially being, or considering redeployment to Helpline at Warbreck may find the following useful.
There have been instances where the employer has indicated that First Class and Flexible contracts (sometimes erroneously called First Class and Flexi) are Flexi Working Hours contracts, or Flexi.
They aren’t and never have been.
The employer confirmed this on 23rd January 2013 as follows:
“Our First Class and Flexible staff are on a DWP standard contract but this is neither Flexi nor a non standard contract and as such the revised Benefits Directorate agreement does not affect them.”
Therefore although there have been some other areas of the employer who have tried, wrongly, to argue that First Class and Flexible is Flexi, it isn’t.
