The Government has approved the integration of the Right to Request Remote Work for all workers into the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill which is expected to be delivered in 2023. It is currently with the Oireachtas Committee Scrutiny.

To deal with this piece of legislation and be compliant, I have created a quick “how to guide” to navigate a new change to your working culture in your business:

How to Guide

  • Create a Flexible Working Policy
  • Handling applications for Flexible Working
  • Responding to an Application
  • Considering Flexible Working Requests
  • Arranging a meeting to discuss a Flexible Working Request
  • Accepting a request for Flexible Working
  • Refusing a request for Flexible Working
  • Managing someone who works Flexible

If your business doesn’t have a Flexible Working Policy and you would like to discuss how you can structure the policy to suit your business culture, then please get in touch with Core Resource on 087 7743205 / geraldine@coreresource.ie , we will be more than happy to assist you.
