Many small businesses already offer flexible working. But any proposals to legislate for a more rigid approach should avoid a one-size-fits-all view for small employers - given different roles, needs and sectors. FSB’s Craig Beaumont has been speaking to BBC News (UK) 📺👇

Ministers are considering a warning system and fines for those who fail to uphold workers’ rights - but Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) says small firms should be exempt 👇🏻 thetimes.com/article/a8932f…

🗃️It would be unfair for the government to fine small firms just because they don’t have official policies or paperwork. “That overreach would be a devastating inadvertent consequence,” Craig Beaumont tells The Times and The Sunday Times today ⤵️
