Many employers are willing to put in place flexible working arrangements so that staff can remain in the workforce but meet their other life responsibilities or plans. Usually this is just done by discussion and agreement on what will work best for both the employee and employer. If you cannot reach agreement then employees have the right to request flexible working arrangements under the Employment Relations Act. Employees can seek to vary their hours of work, days of work, or their place of work (e.g. an employee can request that they be allowed to work from home).
