The Employment Rights Bill is here

CATEGORY: Payroll

Following its first reading in the House of Commons today, 10 October, the Employment Rights Bill has been published, within the first 100 days of our new government, as promised.

At an enormous 158 pages, this will take some time to read through and digest, so the policy team will do just that, and inform you accordingly on exactly what you need to know.

The Bill covers the long-awaited legislative changes to:

Zero hours workers
Flexible working
Statutory sick pay
Entitlements to leave

to name just a few.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has published its Next Steps to make Work Pay which is a slightly lighter read than the 158 page Bill.
