The Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) (Amendment) Regulations 2007
These Regulations amend the Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/3236) (“the 2002 Regulations”) which prescribed the employees eligible for the statutory right to request a contract variation, provided for under Section 80F of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”). The 1996 Act was amended by the Work and Families Act 2006 to extend the scope of the right to employees caring for certain adults. The 2002 Regulations were amended by the Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”) to prescribe the categories of adult in respect of whom a qualifying employee may make a statutory request, and to make certain other related amendments.
