13G. Abuse of flexible working arrangement.

(1) An approved flexible working arrangement is subject to the condition that it is used for the purpose for which it was approved.

(2) Where an employer has reasonable grounds for believing that an employee of his or hers who is on an approved flexible working arrangement is not using the arrangement for the purpose for which it was approved, the employer may, by notice in writing given to the employee, terminate the approved flexible working arrangement and the notice shall contain a statement in summary form of the grounds for terminating the arrangement and shall specify the day (being a day not later than the date of the end of the period of the arrangement specified in the agreement referred to in section 13C(1)(b)(i), nor, subject to the foregoing requirement, earlier than 7 days after the date of the receipt by the employee concerned of the notice) on which the employee must return to work.

(3) Where an approved flexible working arrangement is terminated under subsection (2), the employee concerned shall return to the employee's original working arrangement on the day specified in the notice under that subsection.
