Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023
Summary
This Act makes it easier for UK employees to ask their employer for flexible working arrangements. It strengthens workers' rights to request changes to their working pattern, and employers must seriously consider these requests rather than simply refusing them.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means employees get stronger rights to request flexible working arrangements like working from home, part-time hours, or flexible schedules. It gives workers better work-life balance and helps people care for families or manage health conditions while staying employed.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry this Act could make it harder for businesses to operate efficiently, especially in roles requiring in-person work like retail or manufacturing. Some also fear employers might discriminate against workers who request flexibility, or that productivity could suffer.
