In this week's podcast, we look at flexible working requests focusing on issues that may arise when women returning from maternity leave request a change to their working hours. We discuss two recent employment tribunal decisions, Whiteman v CPS Interiors Ltd and Smith v Gleacher Shacklock LLP, and consider what practical steps employers can take to deal with flexible working requests in the required reasonable manner. Presenter Jeya Thiruchelvam is joined by Fiona Cuming.
