The Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) (Amendment) Regulations 2009
These Regulations amend the Flexible Working (Eligibility, Complaints and Remedies) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/3236), widening the scope of the right of employees (under section 80F of the Employment Rights Act 1996) to request a contract variation. The right previously applied to carers of children under 6 or disabled children under 18, as well as employees who care for certain adults. It is extended to cover carers of children under 17.
