Employment Rights BillContribution
Employers will likely start to restrict voluntary overtime to avoid inadvertently triggering a contractual obligation that they cannot sustain in the longer term. This would mean fewer opportunities for workers who rely on those extra hours. The cost of compliance for businesses, particularly those in hospitality, will be significant and ultimately counterproductive for workers.
