The Labour Party has proposed giving employees the right to request remote working, flexi-time or a compressed work week.The measure was announced by Prime Minister Robert Abela during today’s mass meeting in Castille Square.Under the proposal, a discussion will be opened with social partners on introducing this right, allowing workers to formally ask their employers to consider more flexible arrangements.Businesses that accept these requests would receive support for each employee who shifts to remote work, with assistance also being offered to employers who adopt such measures.•
