CBI COMMENTS ON GOVERNMENT’S EMPLOYMENT LAW REVIEW
Katja Hall, CBI Chief Policy Director, said:
“A review of employment law is long overdue. Workplace relationships have changed dramatically over the last decade, with employers and employees engaging in a more flexible, personalised way, and it’s time the law reflected this.
“The Government is right to look at ways of reducing regulatory burdens on businesses, because this will help free them up to create jobs and drive growth.
“We have been calling for changes to the rules around tribunal awards and collective redundancies, as these are a disincentive for firms to hire, so we welcome the review’s focus on these areas.”
