Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023
Introduction
In the summer of 2023, the Flexible Working Bill achieved Royal Assent. While the legislation has now passed in parliament; the law on requesting flexible working has not yet changed and won’t do so until sometime in 2024.
Until this point, it is still at the discretion of employers if they want to offer the right to request flexible working from day one of employment.
The Act delivers on a 2019 Manifesto commitment to encourage flexible working and will require employers to consider and discuss any requests made by their employee. Further details on the Act can be found here: Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023 (legislation.gov.uk).
The benefits are believed to extend beyond the workforce cohort to the wider UK economy. Research has shown that organisations that embrace flexible working can attract more talent, improve staff motivation and reduce staff turnover.
Business and Trade Minister, Kevin Hollinrake said:
“Not only does flexible working help individuals fit work alongside other commitments – whether it’s the school drop off, studying or caring for vulnerable friends and family – it’s good business sense too, helping firms to attract more talent, increase retention and improve workforce diversity”.
