CBI WELCOMES EXTENSION OF UNFAIR DISMISSAL QUALIFYING PERIOD
The CBI recently commented on the Government’s announcement that it will extend the qualifying period for unfair dismissal claims from one year to two years
John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said:
“Extending the qualifying period for unfair dismissal is a very positive step.
“We have been urging the Government to do everything it can to make it easier for firms to grow and create jobs, and this will give employers, especially smaller ones, more confidence to hire.”
