Acas consultation on flexible working code of practice Published: 12 July 2023 Emailed: 12 July 2023
With the future changes coming to flexible working requests brought by the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Bill, Acas are seeking views on changes it can make to the flexible working code of practice.
The draft code sets out a clear explanation of the law and statutory rights of workers to request flexible working and highlights good practice for handling requests in a reasonable way. The current code was published in 2014, but with the upcoming changes to flexible working, as well as the shift in working practices towards more flexible options, it is time to review the code and update it to reflect the current environment.
To give a brief overview if you were not aware, the anticipated new Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act will:
• require employers to consult employees before rejecting a request • increase the number of requests an employee can make from one to two in any 12-month period • remove the requirement on an employee to explain the impact of their request on the business • reduce the decision period on requests from three to two months.
