adjust hours during Ramadan
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?
Overview
Fasting employees may have different energy peaks. Shifting hours (e.g., starting early/leaving early) or skipping lunch to leave early helps.
For Employees
During Ramadan, I would like to adjust my shift pattern to [Start Early/Work Through Lunch] to help manage my energy levels while fasting.
For Employers
Offering flexibility during Ramadan supports employee wellbeing and productivity. Shifting hours is usually low cost and effective.
Key Considerations
- Can the employee work through lunch (since they are fasting) to leave earlier?
- Can start times be flexible to accommodate late night prayers/meal times?
