Currently, workers have to wait until they have been in their role for six months. The plan would also mean bosses have to respond to requests for flexible working more quickly than the current maximum of three months. Under the proposals, firms would also be forced to explain why any requests were refused.
However, the new proposals will only grant the right to ask for flexible working – they will not automatically give people a right to flexible work.

So while the plans are a step in the right direction for workers, they may not have as much of an impact if employers aren’t fully on board with flexible working.
