Here's To More `Flexitime'
Barbara Lewis, The Hindu Business News, 23 July 2004
Britain's new Employment Act legalising flexible working hours for parents of young children is a welcome move.

It stops short of providing an automatic right to flexible work, defined as "job sharing, home-working and `flexitime', as well as various other arrangements."

I hope you have the opportunity to partake of the events at Gate 3, encourage your friends and colleagues to join, and build collegial relationships amongst other Gate 3 members. - Cheerio 'til next week.
