The Law on Flexible Working

As an employer, you need to know about flexible working. The law says you must 'consider seriously' requests to work flexibly from employees with a child aged 16 or under, a child with disabilities under 18 and employees looking after an adult dependant.

But in fact it may pay to consider offering flexible working to other employees as well.This briefing covers:

  • The different types of flexible working.
  • Who qualifies to apply for flexible working.
  • The procedures you must follow if you receive a request to work flexibly.
  • What you need to do to introduce new working arrangements.
  • Other legislation to be aware of.
