Take part in our latest readers’ poll on a current topical issue. Earlier this month, Employee Benefits reported that the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Bill, which will allow UK workers to request flexible working from day one in a job, has received Royal Assent.
Employees have the right to request this twice a year instead just once, and employers are required to consider these and provide a reason before rejection within two months of a request.
In light of this, do you think the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Bill goes far enough to support working carers?
