Right to Request Flexible
Working Spring 2014
The Government proposes to extend
the right to request flexible working to
all employees and remove the current
statutory procedure for considering
requests. Instead employers will have
a duty to consider all requests in a
reasonable manner; employers will
have the right to refuse requests on
business grounds.
