As the UK prepares to enforce the Flexible Working Bill on April 6, a new study by Slack reveals that over half of small and medium businesses (SMBs) are poised to receive a wave of flexible working requests.
The bill will allow all workers to make a statutory request for flexible working from day one of employment, with changes considered for how long, when and where they work. Workers will also be able to make two requests a year, up from one previously, and employers will have two months to make a decision, down from three.
