Employment Rights BillContribution
Lords amendments 23 and 106 to 120 seek to reduce the qualifying period for unfair dismissal from two years to six months, while preserving existing exemptions. The Government do not support the amendments. We were elected on a manifesto to provide protection from unfair dismissal from day one of employment.
