Employees will be given the right to ask for flexible working from their first day at a new job, the government has proposed.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said that if an employer cannot accommodate a request to work flexibly, it would have to discuss "alternative options" before rejecting it. The government also said it planned to remove "exclusivity clause restrictions" for workers on contracts who are paid £123 or less a week. It will allow people to work for multiple employers and take on second jobs.
"Ministers must change the law so that every job advert makes clear what kind of flexible working is available in that role. And they should give workers the legal right to work flexibly from their first day in a job - not just the right to ask," she said.
You can ask but you sure as hell won't get unless they're decent
What, right NOW, the way things are? I'm left wondering just who IS in power presently. Sunack, or is it Starmar, Nandy, et al already?
Really, NOW? Is the name of the current prime minister Sunack or Corbyn?
In some cases it can take up to 26 weeks to know whether the workplace newbie is a piss-taker
