Labour manifesto promises legislation to extend work-life balance

The Government will extend work-life balance legislation by allowing staff to accumulate their overtime and turn it into paid leave, according to Labour's pre-election manifesto.

According to The Choice for Britain, employers would enter into a contract with employees so if staff work longer than their contracted hours, they can save this up and add it onto their annual leave.

The plan would extend flexible working beyond parents to everyone in the workplace.
