Flexible Working – Changes to the Law on 30th June 2014 – 03/07/2014
Flexible working – the law changed on 30 June.
All employees who have worked for an organisation for more than 26 weeks now have the right to request flexible working arrangements.
This right previously only applied to parents with children under the age of 17 (or 18 if the child is disabled) and certain carers.
There are many forms of flexible working such as part-time working, flexitime, job sharing, shift working or working elsewhere such as homeworking.
