Are you a family friendly employer? Does flexibility suit
your business needs? What rights do employers have to say
no? In this time of evermore "family friendly" legislation
and increased rights for part-time workers, how should an
employer approach requests for part-time work, job shares
and flexible working hours?
It is no longer just women returning from maternity leave
who make such requests and employment lawyers are regularly
asked how far an employer has to meet demands. Employers have
genuine concerns about how the working arrangements will affect
their businesses and client/customer service, but requests
cannot simply be ignored.
Aimed at: HR Professionals, Company Directors and anyone
involved in making decisions on working arrangements.
