Flexible working covers how a person structures their work time and location, such as remote or home working, compressed hours, or shifted patterns, often under a statutory right to request. A solicitor in this area helps with making, reviewing, and negotiating flexible working requests, drafts accompanying correspondence to an employer, and prepares for any appeal or grievance if a request is refused. They also advise on how flexible working interacts with rights and duties under the Employment Rights Act and related employment policies.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor explains the specific terms of a flexible working request, clarifies the impact on pay, benefits, and continuity of service, and navigates potential discrimination or detriment risks if a request is refused. They handle the associated documentation, correspondence, and the process of raising and pursuing any internal appeal or statutory claim within the employer’s policy and the tribunal framework.
