69AAF: Grounds for refusal of request by employer
or “An employer can say no to a worker's request for different work hours only for certain reasons.”
You could also call this:

“A Labour Inspector can help workers and bosses with flexible work problems.”

A Labour Inspector can help you and your employer with issues related to flexible working arrangements. They can provide whatever assistance they think is appropriate for your situation. However, there are some limits to what the Labour Inspector can do. These limits are explained in section 69AAH(2) of the Employment Relations Act 2000.
