A guide to the right to request flexible working

About This Guide

Our guide explains who is entitled to request flexible working, including detailed eligibility criteria. In addition, the guide discusses what information should be included in the flexible working request.  Employers receiving these requests from their employees must follow a certain procedure as detailed by the ACAS code. Our guide explains how to follow this procedure, why it could be worth implementing a trial period and finally, reaching an agreement with the employee and granting the request if applicable. There are several reasons why the flexible working request could get refused by the employer; however, there are also several ways to appeal this decision – all discussed within our guide to the right to request flexible working.
