Give workers real choice over hours

Study flexible work hours. Protect the right to say no, fair pay and health.

StudyUpdated:

Our argument

Choice over work hours should be real for workers as well as firms. A worker must be able to say no without losing fair treatment. Flexibility is useful only if pay, rest and health are protected.

What must change

Study flexible work hours. Protect the right to say no, fair pay and health.

What a win looks like

More useful choices with clear pay rules and a right to refuse that works in practice.

Public cost

We have not yet priced this ask for the public purse. Any public aid must be priced before we seek funds for it.

The evidence

This case is a proposal. We have not yet published a measured claim for it. The research we still need is set out below.

Studies and notes

No case study is published here yet. This is the next question to check.

What we need to check

Compare schedule options, overtime, health and the right to refuse. Seek workers’ views as well as employers’ views.

Updates
