Mr. Leslie
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister is committed to accommodating staff who request to work flexibly subject to overriding operational requirements. Most organisations within the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister operate a flexible working hours system. Flexible working start times and finish times and core hours vary to reflect the operational requirements of the areas of work.
