HR Tip: Foster parents and flexible working

pp_default1

These questions are being answered by Learn HR, a market leader in the provision of HR and payroll training and nationally-recognised professional qualifications.


Q: “A woman has requested flexible working hours to enable her to look after a three year old child. However she is only the foster mother. Does she have any entitlement?”

A:  Yes. If she has six months service she has the same rights as a biological mother. The right is available to people who will exercise parental responsibility such as natural parents, foster parents, guardians or adopters.
