Thinking about requesting a flexible working arrangement? As of 6 April 2024, employees have a "day one" right to request flexible working for any reason under the statutory scheme. Here's how it works: 1. Submit a Written Request: The employee starts the process with a written request. 2. Employer Decision Period: Your employer has two months to consider the request, consult with you if necessary, and inform you of their decision. This period can be extended by agreement. 3. Reasonable Handling: Your employer must handle your application reasonably. 4. Legislative Grounds for Refusal: An employer can only refuse your request based on one or more of the eight reasons outlined in the legislation. 5. Meeting Attendance: If you miss a meeting to discuss your request or an appeal without a good reason, and a rescheduled meeting as well, your employer may consider your request withdrawn. Take advantage of this new right to explore flexible working options! #flexibleworking
