<p>We carried out an impact assessment in 2014 on the extension of the statutory right
to request flexible working, estimating a total benefit (net present value) of £474.9
million. This figure incorporates monetised benefits relating to the extension of
the right to request to all employees with 26 weeks continuous service and therefore
does not take into account the flexible working among parents and carers that was
already taking place prior to the extension.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently reviewing
the 2014 extension of the right to request Flexible working to all eligible employees.
The review will test the economic assumptions underpinning the cost-benefit analysis
in the original impact assessment.</p>
