Document pack

Flexible Working Pack

ERA 2025 changed the rules. Requests come in from day one, refusals will need to pass a statutory reasonableness test from 2027, and most managers don't know their obligations. This covers the request, the discussion, the decision, and the appeal.

Customised to you

All documents pre-filled with your company name, contacts and specific details.

ERA 2025-ready

Built for the statutory reasonableness test coming in 2027, with the consultation duty that already applies baked in.

Plain English

Clear, jargon-free language that employees and managers can actually follow.

Tribunal-ready process

Refusal letters prompt you to document your assessment and alternatives. Appeals governance specifies who can hear an appeal and their authority to overturn.
