[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This Act gives members of the armed forces (army, navy, air force) the legal right to request flexible working arrangements, such as parttime hours or adjusted schedules. It brings military personnel in line with civilian workers' rights to balance work and personal life, though requests can still be refused if they would harm military operations.
