Employment Law Advice Bureau’s Post

With a general election set for election for July 4th, all eyes are on the Labour Party and their proposed changes to enhance workers' rights. While we wait for the full manifesto to come out, here’s a rundown of what Keir Starmer has put forward: - Abolishing zero-hour contracts - Increases to the National Minimum Wage and Statutory Sick Pay - Ensuring fair pay for gig workers - Banning ‘Fire and Rehire’ practices - Improvements to parental leave - Tackling discrimination and promoting equality Some of Labour's key proposals include day-one rights for unfair dismissal claims and a move to modernise trade union laws.

The Government is set to establish the Fair Work Agency to enforce new employment rights, described by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner as a "watershed moment." The agency will protect against unfair dismissal and exploitative contracts, with powers to inspect and penalise rogue employers. Ms Rayner said the legislation "will turn the tide on decades of insecurity and low pay while generating growth." The reforms will benefit 9m workers, providing rights to job security, sick pay, and flexible working from day one. However, concerns have been raised by small businesses about the rushed implementation of 28 new measures, which include the end of zero-hours contracts and stronger protections for pregnant women. Despite some concessions, trade unions have largely welcomed the changes, viewing them as a significant shift in workers' rights. #legal #law #employment #employmentrights #employees

On 10th October we introduced the Employment Rights Bill, a package of reforms that seeks to strengthen rights at work, increase productivity, and ensure businesses are competing on a level playing field.

In our second weekly pre-UK election guide, Mark Kaye and David von Hagen unpack The Labour Party’s pledge to simplify UK law on employment status, which will merge the UK’s two-tier system of workers and employees into a single category of ‘worker’ for everyone except the genuinely self-employed.   This proposal represents a major change to UK legislation and will require extensive consultation. Workers may gain the same full employment rights as employees, and the ripple effects could range from an increase in statutory claims to a tightening in checks on whether individuals are genuinely self-employed. We may even have to hesitate using the word ‘employee’ if the proposals are carried through in their current form.   To read Mark and David’s insights in full, click the link below: https://lnkd.in/e3ahWqfk   #EmploymentLaw #UKElection #LabourManifesto #EmploymentStatus
