The Government are also tabling amendments in relation to the Bill’s provisions on flexible working and dismissal during pregnancy. The Bill will increase the baseline set of rights for employees with parental responsibilities, enabling more working parents to get on at work and achieve a better work-life balance, whether they are raising children or looking after a loved one with a long-term health condition. Businesses will gain too, where this boosts workforce participation and helps employers to fill vacancies. These amendments will ensure that these provisions work as intended.
