Hi All, I wanted a bit of advice please. I have been in my current role for about 18 months and things are going well. I work full time Monday to Friday with occasional travel in the UK and the odd night away. When I was offered the role I said I wanted to work a day a week from home but would be flexible with which day that was around the needs of the job as I have client meetings at least once a week and meetings in the office I like to attend face to face. This was agreed to. After about 6 months in the role my boss offered to increase it to two days a week from home as he thought it was working well and knew I had a young family and a long commute (from the South
Coast to London). Anyway, my boss has recently been promoted and there is now someone in between us (who reports to my old boss). My new boss is nice but is quite ‘old school’ and I know isn’t the biggest fan of working from home. My question is should I ask to formalise this arrangement in writing as my flexible working has only ever been agreed verbally and there is nothing written in my contract. I believe it becomes an implied contract after a certain amount of time but just worried about what my rights are if he was to seek to change things. Worth mentioning that I am the exception to the rule with regards to working from home, it is quite rare in my office and amongst my colleagues. HR promised me there was a culture of working from home when I accepted the job but that turned out to be untrue!
Thanks in advance.
