In 2022, around 4.27 million employees in the United Kingdom had employment contracts that allowed for flexible working hours, making it the most common flexible working practice in that year. The second-most prevalent type of flexible arrangement was an annualized hours contract, whereby an employee works a specified number of hours over a year, instead of working the same hours every week or month. In this quarter, there were approximately 97,000 employees on contracts that involved job-sharing, making it the least common type of flexible working contract.
