<p>Employees in the UK have a variety of different leave entitlements which can help
them balance work with other commitments or interests. These range from short term
leave to cover emergencies, through annual leave, to a range of entitlements to parental
leave and pay. The Government is also considering new employment rights for carers.</p><p>
</p><p>In addition, the Government continues to support flexible working practices
to help people manage their work other commitments. Employees with 26 weeks of continuous
service have a right to request flexible working and we are considering a new duty
on employers to be clear when advertising a job whether it is available on a flexible
basis.</p><p> </p>
