The UK government has launched a consultation considering various reforms to the existing flexible working legislation. The consultation sets out a number of proposals for reshaping the existing regulatory framework to facilitate the objective of expanding the ability to work flexibly – including the proposal to give all employees the right to request flexible working from day one of their employment.
The proposals are about making the right to request flexible working a day one right. It is the right to made the request which is the default (not the actual flexible working arrangements).
This consultation seeks views from individuals and businesses on proposals to reform flexible working regulations.
The consultation closes at 11:45pm on 1 December 2021.
