Detailed Solution

86. True Parents are not specifically mentioned in the text but the passage does say that “Employees able to adopt flexible working are better able to balance work and family commitments…experiencing greater job satisfaction”. Since the term “employees” includes employed parents, it can be taken that parents are included in this statement.

87. False The text states that “All employees now have a statutory right to request flexible working arrangements. The law extends as far as insisting employers consider and respond to these requests…”. So the passage is telling us that the law requires the employer to consider the employee’s request but that is as far as the law goes; i.e. it does not go as far as saying they have to honour the request.

88. True The passage tells us that by adopting flexible working hours, staff are “more motivated and less likely to leave”. We are also told that “Staff recruitment costs are not insignificant to businesses.” So, we are effectively told that by increasing staff retention, businesses can save money on recruitment.
