Flexible Work

(Posted 24-Jun-2008)

Amendments to the The Employment Relations Act come into effect on 1-Jul-2008, allowing certain employees the right to request a variation to their hours of work, days of work, or place of work.

The Employment Relations (Flexible Working Arrangements) Amendment Act 2007 gives employees with caring responsibilities a statutory right to request flexible work. The Act will change the way some employees and employers make and respond to requests for flexible working arrangements.

See the Flexible Working Arrangements Amendment for more details.
