The Department for Business and Trade vowed to set out further details of its approach within 100 days.
The Government has “no plans” to force businesses to accept employees’ four-day working week requests.
The PA news agency understands any plan to open up “compressed hours” to more workers would not result in bank holiday-style weekends each week, and that employees would usually need to work their contracted hours, even if they choose to over fewer days. “We are working in close partnership with business and civil society to find the balance between improving workers’ rights while supporting the brilliant businesses that pay people’s wages.”
The Telegraph reported “compressed hours” could feature in a new law, which could shift the balance of power, so companies could be legally obliged to offer flexible working from day one except where it is “not reasonably feasible”.
