New right to request time for training comes into effect
Workers in companies that employ more than 250 people now have the legal right to request time off work for training. Time to Train came into effect in April this year. It will be extended to apply to employees employed by smaller employers from April next year. The phased approach is intended to give smaller businesses time to prepare for the changes. The legislation entitles employees to request time off for training that is relevant to their work. The procedure for employers considering such requests is similar to the model laid down for dealing with requests for flexible working.
