Text Content
Patrick remembers that their workplace flexibility policy mentions job sharing. Patrick and Varsha approach Hayley and ask if she would consider a job sharing arrangement for the office manager role. Hayley is happy to consider this option provided that the successful candidates are able to cover the full-time hours between them. Hayley interviews Patrick and Varsha individually and decides that they are both suitable for the role. They make a written agreement that Varsha will work Mondays and Tuesdays, and Patrick will work Wednesday to Friday. They create a plan for how the duties and responsibilities will be divided, and how they will handover work each week. Hayley commits to checking in with her employees regularly to see how she can further support this arrangement. With Patrick and Varsha's combined skillset, the medical clinic gains both Patrick's senior administrative skills and Varsha's data analysis skills in the office manager role. www.fairwork.gov.au | Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94 | ABN: 43 884 188 232
