<p>The issue of one-sided flexibility was considered as part of the Taylor Review
of Modern Working Practices.</p><p> </p><p>The Review considered a range of penalties
designed to punish employers who schedule work at late notice, or offer work only
to cancel it at the last minute. However, these tended to have wider implications
and would be complex to administer and enforce, meaning those who required additional
protection may not benefit from any changes.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government
remains committed to ensuring that flexibility does not benefit the employer, at the
unreasonable expense of the worker, and that flexibility is genuinely a mutually beneficial
arrangement. We continue to examine these issues in implementing the Government response
to the Review of Modern Working Practices.</p>
