A new law aimed at giving employees the right to request remote work is to be included in the 'Work Life Balance' bill which is expected to be delivered by the end of the year.
Rather than passing separate pieces of legislation, the Government said that amending the Work Life Balance Bill is the most efficient and practical way to introduce the right to request remote work to all workers.
"This will streamline the process and will help avoid inconsistencies and confusion," according to a statement from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. The Right to Request Remote Working Bill provided for 13 specific grounds upon which an employer could refuse a request. The Government says this represents an enhanced right to complaint, when compared with the original Right to Request Remote Working Bill.
