Employment Rights BillContribution
In general, the Bill will make employing people an unattractive proposition. It will probably incentivise businesses to look to non-human resource solutions wherever possible, which might be great for suppliers of capital investment but not so great for the humans who want jobs. Whatever the Bill’s intentions, its consequences are likely to be negative for many employees. I am neither for nor against Amendment 1, but I am absolutely clear that it neither covers the Government’s full aims for the Bill nor captures the consequences of the Bill if it is enacted in anything like its current form.
