Employment Rights BillContribution
Passing this measure will not cost the taxpayer any money, and an employer who genuinely cannot spare their employee time to undertake their voluntary duties will still be able to refuse. Increasing the number of specials in this way has also secured the backing of many police and crime commissioners, as well as the National Police Chiefs’ Council lead for the special constabulary, Assistant Chief Constable Bill Dutton.
