Section 27BL makes supplementary provision in relation to Sections 27BJ and 27BK.
	Subsection (1) provides that the duties at sections 27BJ or 27BK do not apply to shifts that would be, would have been or are being worked by agency workers (as Part 2 of Schedule A1 makes separate provision in respect of agency workers).
	Subsections (2) and (3) provide that employers are not required to give reasonable notice of a shift under section 27BJ where a worker suggests working a shift, including additional hours for a shift the timing of which is guaranteed in their contract (for example, where the worker suggests working overtime). However, where the employer agrees to the worker’s suggestion and the employer then changes or cancels that shift, the employer is required to give reasonable notice of changes to or cancellation of the shift under section 27BK.
	Subsection (4) clarifies that the rights to reasonable notice in sections 27BJ and 27BK apply even if the employer made a request to multiple workers to work the same shift (e.g. via a group text message or app) but did not in fact need all of them to work that shift.
	Subsection (5) then clarifies that, in such scenarios, a cancellation includes a worker not being needed to work a shift because others have agreed to work it. Accordingly, workers in such scenarios are still entitled to be given reasonable notice of them not being needed to work a shift that they have been requested to work and have agreed to work.
	Subsection (6) provides that the Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the form and manner in which notice under sections 27BJ and 27BK must be given, and when notice under those sections is to be treated as having been given.
