Employment Law Update: Taking stock of the April changes
Monday 8 April 2024 at 11am
The employment law changes apply to care employers in the same way as employers in any other industry, but as care staff are often women looking to fit a job around other family responsibilities, the new right to request flexible working from Day 1 of employment (rather than after 26 weeks) might impact Care employers quite significantly. Care managers who are already burdened with a lot of regulation and auditing tasks will have less time to respond to a flexible working request, so this will add to their management admin.
