Employment Rights BillContribution
Clause 7 of the Bill amends Part 8A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to require an employer who refuses an employee’s application for flexible working to explain why the employer considers it is reasonable to refuse the application. This amendment would enable the disclosure of information under Part 8A to be restricted where it would be contrary to the interests of national security.
