Flexible working will not be extended to parents of children aged 17
The Government announced on 18 March 2011 that it will not extend the right to request flexible working to parents of children aged 17 on 6 April 2011 (as had originally been planned.)
The right to request flexible working for parents of children under the age of 17, or 18 if the child is disabled, is unaffected.
It appears that the Government will look again at the issue at a later date.
This move is just one of a number of steps being taken by the Government to minimise the impact of regulations on smaller UK businesses. Click here for full details.
