Andrew Monk, a City chief executive, is not a fan of government proposals for new staff to have the right to ask to work from home.
"People abuse it," and are less productive, at least in financial services, he told the BBC. pg
His view is that a lot of people who ask for flexible working want to work part-time but on a full-time salary.
The government, however, says that allowing flexible working makes businesses more productive.
It is proposing that from the first day of employment new starters can request flexible working, rather than having to wait at least six months, as is the case at the moment.
Under the proposals people can request flexible working such as job sharing, flexi-time, or working from home. Employers won't have to agree to the request.
