Flexible Working and the Right to Time Off – Guidance for Employers

About this event

The post-pandemic world has seen a considerable shift in day-to-day working practices across nearly every industry sector. Greater flexibility and hybrid working arrangements are increasingly seen as the norm and employers face challenges when it comes to balancing business needs alongside possible employment claims.

In this webinar, Philip Bain from our Employment Law team will be providing an update for employers on employees’ right to request flexible working and examine the associated rights to take time off work for family reasons and to care for dependants.

Topics covered will include:-

• Changes to the law from April 2024.
• Who is eligible, how to navigate requests for time off, and when they can be refused
• Alternative and informal arrangements.
• Practical tips

The presentation will run from 1pm -1.45pm followed by an online Q&A session for anyone wishing to ask questions.
