answer text <p>On 5 December the Government published the response to the consultation “Making flexible working the default”[1]. This committed to make a number of changes to the existing Right to Request Flexible Working, including making it apply from the first day of employment. It also committed the Government to issue a call for evidence on non-contractual and ad hoc flexible working. These steps will support parents, people with disabilities and older workers who wish to remain in or return to work.</p><p> </p><p><em>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/making-flexible-working-the-default" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/making-flexible-working-the-default</a></em></p> more like this

The Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) will save a typical household in Great Britain £900 this Winter. In addition, families with disabled children are entitled to a one-off £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment. The Government is currently reviewing the EPG.

answer text <p>As set out in the Flexible Working Post Implementation Review which was published in September 2021[1], research shows lower levels of absenteeism and higher levels of employer loyalty among those who have taken up a flexible working arrangement. However it remains difficult to isolate the specific impact of the role played by legislation.</p><p> </p><p><em>[1] <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1398/pdfs/uksiod_20141398_en.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1398/pdfs/uksiod_20141398_en.pdf</a></em></p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government consulted on whether employers should be required to list the available flexible working opportunities in job adverts in 2019. Having reviewed consultation responses from a range of stakeholders and taken account of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government decided not to take forward a legislative requirement. Instead we are giving employees the right to request flexible working from their first day of employment. This conclusion was set out in “Making Flexible Working the Default”, which was published in September 2021.</p> more like this
