📻 It's more difficult and costly for small employers to hire people than it's ever been, FSB's Tina McKenzie has been telling Emma Vardy on BBC 5 Live - with proposals in the #EmploymentBill set to compound the problem.

(1/2)

Day one sick pay and lower earnings limit reforms due to be nacted in the #employmentbill are hugely welcome.

It is clear though that the Government must do a wider review of sick pay, including the rate if it is serious about tackling the UK's health, productivity and living standard challenge

UK's senior unionist demands full Employment Rights Bill:
-> End unfair dismissals & ban zero-hours exploitation now! Amid cabinet shake-up fears.

TUC slams "out of touch" Peers for voting to keep workers on zero hours contracts ‘They’re defending the broken status quo and are putting their own vested interests ahead of working people’s lives.’

Great to attend the #TUC General Council meeting this morning, with the main discussion around the #EmploymentBill and the ongoing attacks on innocent civilians in #Gaza

Today in Parliament MPs are hearing more evidence on the employment bill.

Great to see Joanne Cairns from USDAW Union raise SSP and the importance of improving the level it is paid at for their worker members

Small employees who treat their employees well have nothing to fear from the #employmentbill, the Government's policy watchdog admits that its own powers to take into account the wider social value of govenment policy is limited and recommends change. How does FSB consult its members on such issues

Regulatory Policy Committee rules #employmentbill impact assessment not fit for purpose, but its latest report calls for it to examine the wider societal impact of policy proposals which it says "can be far more significant than the direct impacts on business." Is the RPC fit for purpose?

27% of employees in Pembrokeshire get just £116 a week when they are sick

Civil society organisations and affected people in the county have been calling for change

So we are delighted to have @tufnellhenry.bsky.social MP as a supporter of the #SafeSickPay campaign🙌

Brilliant to have Johanna Baxter MP as a supporter of the #SafeSickPay campaign. The pandemic showed the inadequacy of our current Statutory Sick Pay system, especially in the care sector.

It is key that we strengthen sick pay to protect the most vulnerable.

Business groups urge caution on UK government’s worker rights plans Lobbyists seek ‘meaningful’ consultation to avoid ‘unintended consequences’ of reform

Very concerned about the potential for the new #EmploymentBill to be watered down even more: after 14 years of employment rights being weakened and workers' voices unheard by ministers, bold legislative action is required to redress the balance between employers & workers. www.ft.com/content/0937...
