Tesco offers all staff right to request flexible working
Tesco has become the first major UK supermarket to grant staff new flexible working rights almost a year ahead of an expected change in the law next year.
The supermarket’s more than 300,000 workers now have the right to request flexible working patterns from their first day in the job, rather having to wait 6 months, the current legal stipulation.
The government is expected to change the rules around flexibility in Spring 2024, introducing the right to request flexible working from day one.
Tesco said this move would give staff “greater choice and flexibility in their working patterns and help to attract and retain talent”.
The grocer, which already has a large proportion of colleagues who work part-time, has introduced a new requirement that all full-time positions will be advertised as flexible, and across all roles a range of different part-time or flexible working options can be discussed.
