Managers will be required to have a meeting with employees who request flexible working, according to Louise Haigh, first secretary of state. Speaking at the TUC conference this week, Haigh revealed that changes to flexible working legislation, due to take force in 2027, will require employers to "sit down with their employee, properly consider it and explain why".
Plans to give employees the right to request flexible working from the first day of their job have been confirmed by the Government, although no date has been set for its introduction.
