Adjustments are for disability, not lifestyle.
For Employees
Don't say "I prefer it". Submit a Statutory Flexible Working Request instead.
For Employers
Preference isn't a reasonable adjustment. Treat it as a flexible working request (which you can refuse).
Key Considerations
- Flexible working request (Statutory).
