Employment Law Solicitors:

Flexible Working

 

There is no automatic right to flexible working. Parents of children under 6 (or 18 if the child is disabled) who have worked for the employer continuously for at least 26 weeks only have the right to request it. Employers unable to accommodate the request are entitled to reject it. Furthermore, only one request can be made in any 12 month period and any request can be made no later than 2 weeks prior to the child’s 6th birthday (18th birthday if the child is disabled). In terms of flexibility, the employee can request a change in the number of hours they work, their start and finish time, and make a request to work from home. Should the request for flexibility be accepted, then the change to the employee’s terms and conditions will be permanent. The procedure for making the request is as follows:- 

  • Request made in writing

     

  • Meeting arranged by employer with employee within 28 days of the request being made to discuss it.

     

  • Decision in writing within 14 days of meeting. Should the employer have rejected the employee’s request, reasons should be provided in the letter.

     

  • An appeal by the employee should be made in writing to the employer within 14 days of the employee being notified of the employer’s decision.

Should the employer have not followed the correct procedure, then the employee has the option of bringing a tribunal claim.
