Great article

Although employers are not obligated to accommodate flexible working requests, more and more people have left their jobs for other jobs that are more amenable to flexible work arrangements. In the U.S., there are only two states which offer legal protection for flexible working: New Hampshire and Vermont. Additionally, the city of San Francisco offers some protections, while New York City is currently considering a proposal.

WSHC+B partner and chair of the labor and employment division, Brett Schneider spoke with Worklife News about how U.S. employers are not under any legal obligation to grant flexible work or work-from-home arrangements unless the reason is that someone has a disability or is caring for someone.

“In the current job market, employers are wise to be as accommodating as possible to attract or retain talent.”
