Consultation paper on flexible parental leave

The Government has published a consultation paper about flexible parental leave. The consultation period will end on 8 August 2011.

The Government’s proposals set out in the consultation paper include:

Flexible parental leave: replacing additional paternity leave with flexible parental leave

Flexible working: extending the right to request flexible working to any employee who has been employed for 26 weeks.

Equal pay: a tribunal may order the employer to conduct a pay audit where an equal pay claim has been successful.

Working time regulations (WTR): amending the WTR so that annual leave can be carried over to the next leave year.

The consultation paper is available on the BIS website.
