Permanent exemption from all core working hours
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?

For Employees
Asking to never work core hours is often refused. Propose "reduced" core hours or specific blocks instead.
For Employers
Complete exemption breaks team cohesion. Refusal is usually safe if collaboration is a core role requirement.
