Re: Request For New Flextime Schedule
Dear Employer:
I sincerely value the opportunity that I have in working for you and your company. Yet, as you are aware, the world is dealing with the pandemic of COVID-19 and I would appreciate your consideration in offering a "flex-time" or "work from home" schedule.
Of course, besides ensuring the safety of the workforce during the pandemic, the option for an employee to have a flexible schedule not exclusive to the limits of a traditional office opens up several avenues for increased productivity and decreased spending within the company. Employees concerned about the pandemic, and wishing to be close to their families at this time, will be able to do so while continuing to work productively. Additionally, many employees may be facing the issue of what to do about childcare, given that many schools across the nation are closed. Lastly, as an employer, it helps show that you value employee safety.
Working times, days, meeting hours, and phone call or other tech aavailability would be clear and planned and I believe they can be.
I am proposing that I work permanently from home during this global crisis. My position allows me to do this easily, and it would help me and my family stay safe during this pandemic.
As you know, the pandemic is spreading every day and I am concerned about my health and safety. I would appreciate it if we could memorialize this temporary flexible working agreement as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
