The Government has announced details of the Employment Rights Bill. The legislation brings forward 28 individual reforms, covering the full spectrum of employment rights.
The Bill aims to deliver economic growth and security to businesses and workers alike in the UK. Significantly, it seeks to end exploitative zero-hour contracts and ‘fire and hire’ practices, extend family leave rights and establish unfair dismissal protection from day one of employment.
Collyer Bristow's Head of Employment law, Tania Goodman, explains what the Bill covers; the implications of it for employers and employees; what happens next; and what employers should be doing now to prepare for its implementation.
