Quote:
The government is proposing to give all employees the right to request flexible working when they start new jobs, the BBC understands.
A consultation is to be launched on the proposals this week.
The plan would allow all UK employees to request a flexible working arrangement from their first day at a new employer.
At the moment, workers have to wait until they have been in their role for six months.
The proposals would also see bosses have to respond to requests for flexible working more quickly than the current maximum of three months. It would also force firms to explain why any requests were refused.

An interesting proposal.Of course it won't be possible for every industry but I can see it being popular for some particularly those who reside some distance from their place of employment.
