The Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023 (the Act) received Royal Assent in July 2023 and came into effect on 6 April 2024. In summary, the Act creates a legal right for employees to make a statutory request for flexible working from the first day of their employment.
The Act delivers on a 2019 Manifesto commitment of the then Conservative Government to encourage flexible working and requires employers to consider and discuss any requests made by their employee.
The benefits are believed to extend beyond the workforce cohort to the wider UK economy. It may be considered that organisations that embrace flexible working can attract more talent, improve staff motivation, and reduce staff turnover.
