*** Flexible working requests to become day one right *** Flexible working regulations which will remove the 26-week service requirement have been approved by parliament. This means that the right to make a flexible working request will be a day one right for employees from 6 April 2024. Other reforms to the flexible working system are expected to come into force on the same day but this is yet to be confirmed, including giving employees the right to make two applications per 12 months rather than one application and introducing a new requirement on employers to consult with the employee before rejecting a request. Employers are likely to see an increase in applications for flexible working and will need to ensure that their business is prepared for this.

Changes to flexible working rights All employees can request flexible working arrangements from day one of employment, thanks to the Employment Rights (Flexible Working) Act 2023. Key updates include: -Removing the requirement for employees, in their written request, to set out what effect the proposed flexibility would have on the employer’s business and how any effect could be dealt with. -Increasing the number of flexible working requests which can be made in any 12-month period from one to two. -Reducing the primary time period within which flexible working requests must be dealt with (including any appeal) from three months to two months. As before, it will remain possible, by agreement with the employee, to extend this time period. These regulations aim to make flexible working more accessible and responsive to today's dynamic work environments.
