answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2022 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> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 19/12/2022 17:10:03 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
