New flexible working Regulations
Posted: 23 Apr 07 11:40 AM Modified By Kate_Atkinson  on 4/23/2007 12:11:11 PM)

This week buddy was asked: do the new flexible working regulations cover relatives such as son-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Buddy says: Yes, the Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) (Amendment) Regulations 2007 have amended the new flexible working regulations (Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) (Amendment) Regulations 2006), which came into effect on 6 April 2007 to include son-in-law and daughter-in-law, after these relatives had mistakenly been omitted. The amendment will be introduced on 3 May 2007, entitling any employee who looks after these relatives to make a request  for flexible working.

 

Employer information: Since 6 April 2006, employees who care for adults are also eligible to make a statutory request to flexible working. A relative (which will include son-in-law and daughter-in-law from 3 May 2007) is defined as being a mother, father, adopter, guardian, special guardian, parent-in-law, step-parent, son, step-son, daughter, step-daughter, brother, step-brother, brother-in-law, sister, step-sister, sister-in-law, uncle, aunt or grandparent, and includes adoptive relationships and relationships of full blood or half blood or, in the case of an adopted person, such of those relationships as would exist but for the adoption.
