The right to request flexible working has been extended to all employees with at least 26 weeks’ continuous service (with effect from 30 June 2014). Previously the right only applied to certain parents and carers. The new duty requires employers to deal with flexible working requests in a reasonable manner within a three-month decision period. The previous prescriptive procedure has been abolished.
