  Work life balance
  At Colchester Borough Council, and Colchester Borough Homes Ltd we recognise that employees wish to achieve a work/life balance, and the following initiatives help to support this aim, by treating each employee as an individual.
• Flex Time
  Allows flexibility in start and finish times, in line with the needs of the service, to allow employees more control over their working day. Extra hours worked are banked for future use. Core hours are 9.30 am to 4.00 pm.
• Flexible working
  There are a number of options for flexible working away from the flexi time scheme. These include short days, term time working and flexibility on how days and hours are worked.
  If an employee wishes to exercise their right under flexible working rights, this should be put to your manager, however, managers are always willing to discuss an employees needs with you, whilst taking into account the needs of the service.
