▍原文
Employees in the United Kingdom have received a new right to request flexible working arrangements from the first day of a new job.
This is courtesy of the Employment Relations Act, which represents an important change to employment regulations for Britain's 1.5 million employers.
Flexible working covers numerous arrangements, such as compressed hours and remote working. The new rule may well make the statutory system mainstream.
