I would think, generally speaking, you have the right to request anything of anyone anywhere. Do those laws do anything?
I believe some of these flexible working request laws mean that companies must consider whether it's reasonable (for the business) and allow it if it's reasonable.
It's fairly toothless in most jurisdictions since businesses can just say it's unreasonable and not elaborate.
