Under government proposals, all employees will be given the right to request flexible working.
Under new government proposals, all employees are set to be given the right to request flexible working when they start new jobs, the BBC understands.The plan would allow all UK employees to request a flexible working arrangement from day one at a new employer.The proposals would also see bosses have to respond to requests for flexible working more quickly than the current maximum of three months. It would also see bosses forced to explain why any requests were refused.
"For employers, offering flexible working means they can access so much more talent and that really benefits the business as well." "For it to be right rather than a privilege would have made a huge difference to me earlier in my career," she said.Stephen Warnham, head of content at UK jobs site Totaljobs.com, said the move pointed to "a growth in a hybrid way of working", where people are "trusted to work in the way that best gets the job done".
"From a legislative perspective this is long overdue as a third of employers we speak to are already doing this anyway, so it is a really critical change," said Mr Warnham.TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said that flexible working "should be a right" to everyone from their first day in the job.
