More or fewer working hours

You may choose to work more or fewer hours by applying the flexible working hours option. For example, when you simply can't work full-time. Or when you have a function-based contract as academic staff. 

Do you have health problems and is it therefore for you only possible to work at certain hours? Discuss it with your manager. You always reach an agreement together on when you start and finish work.
