As reported on Wednesday by Liam the Queen’s speech contained a number of proposals for employment law. One of these was that the Government promised to bring forward proposals to help people achieve a better balance between work and family life. 

Imelda Walsh, HR Director at Sainsburys, has been tasked by the Government to review how the current right to request to work flexibly can be extended and she will lead the independent review on this issue.  The Government’s plan is to extend the right to those with children up to the age of 17.  The review is set to report back in the spring of 2008 and then there will formal consultation on the issue.  Watch this space for more updates on this and other employment law topics.
