More Flexible Working Rights

Bob Laxton MP: new flexible working right is ‘big boost for busy parents’

Families in Derby received a big boost this week with the news that a new right to request flexible working will come into force.

The right to request flexible working will be extended to working parents who have children up to the age of 16 helping many families balance their work and family life much more easily.

Bob Laxton encouraged parents in Derby to be fully aware of their new rights:

“Extending the right to request to the parents of older children will give a big boost to busy parents in Derby who need more help balancing work and family life.

“Whether its managing the school run or being able to work from home these new rights will make life much easier for many parents.

“Employers can benefit too. They will still have the control to do what is best for their business, but many increasingly find that working flexibly allows people to get the best out of their employees.”
