Current client co is a joy on that front.
Very big on flexible working, so lots of the permies do compressed weeks.
Remote working is encouraged up to 2 days a week for everyone, contractors included, after an initial period.
Never seen anyone give a toss about hours.
A couple of permie guys in the team start at 7am most days to beat traffic at either end.
Another rolls in at 10am every day.Comment
