Employment Rights BillContribution
Amendment 216MZB builds on that clarity. It provides that the enforcement may be undertaken only by the CAC itself, using its existing statutory powers. This preserves the CAC’s established role as the expert, impartial body responsible for overseeing compliance. Allowing employees or unions to launch separate civil court actions would fragment the process, risk inconsistent outcomes and undermine the CAC’s central position. By channelling enforcement through the CAC alone, we would achieve streamlined, consistent and expert resolution of any breaches.
