All employees, provided they have 26 weeks’ continuous service, have a legal right to request flexible working once in every 12-month period.
Your employer may have a Flexible Working Policy which provides detail on how to make these requests and how they will be handled. If there is no policy, you can still make a “statutory request” and your employer has a legal obligation to deal with your request in a reasonable manner.
It is more straightforward for some businesses more than others to accommodate flexible working; however, most businesses are now more comfortable with home-working arrangements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the traditional 9-5 office working model is changing for lots of businesses.
If you feel that your employer has not dealt with your flexible working request reasonably or fairly, or you need guidance on how to make a statutory request, our solicitors can advise you on your rights and the best way to approach making these requests.
Our experienced solicitors are on hand to give you advice and assistance.
