Part 6AB
Flexible working short-term for people affected by family violence
Employee’s statutory right to make request
69ABBWhen and why employee may make request
An employee who is a person affected by family violence may make a request—
- at any time; and
- for the purpose of assisting the employee to deal with the effects on the employee of being a
person affected by family violence.
Subsection (1) applies regardless of how long ago the family violence occurred, and even if the family violence occurred before the person became an employee.
A request made under this Part for a short-term (2-month or shorter) variation of the employee’s working arrangements (as defined in section 69ABA) does not prevent a request also being made under Part 6AA by or on behalf of the employee for a permanent, or fixed-period longer than 2 months, variation under that Part of the employee’s working arrangements (as defined in section 69AAA).
