The Labour government’s proposed changes to employment law support flexible working and could make it easier for employees to request to work compressed hours in the form of a four-day working week.
In an article for Employee Benefits, partner in our employment law team Nicholas Le Riche explains what these changes could mean in practice.
Nicholas Le Riche states:
'Although details are short at the moment, Labour has previously confirmed that it wants to make flexible working the default from day one for all employees, except where it is not reasonably feasible. Conservative shadow business secretary Kevin Hollinrake said businesses were ‘petrified’ by the plans, even though they are similar to those set out in the Conservatives’ 2019 manifesto.'
