Melanie Stancliffe, employment law

Day one rights. Employee – worker – self employed

‘Employees are exclusive nut expensive.’

‘Opening with a split to the room, partition of port side to employees, starboard for self employed, and a block in the middle of worker. Looking to the employees, they are expensive but exclusive. Worker is an individual who has entered into a contract and work personally. Self employed are in business for themselves but the tribunal often rejects the labels the people have chosen.

Rights are strong with the employees, workers have some rights but the self employed do not have the same rights but do not bring cost. Complication arrives when the self employed have a health problem and look for rights like employees.

Workers can be part of a union. Unique recognition of Amazon failed by the narrowest margin to get union membership.

Twenty plus redundancies requires a consultation with staff, but you must include the number of individuals with the number of bank staff alongside the employees.

Fair work agency is to enforce holiday pay, sick pay.

Missing from the Employment Bill, - single category of workers, IR35 reform, umbrella company, right to disconnect (code of practice expected).

Redundancy consultancy extended

Equality action plans (you will have to have a plan)

Protect outsourced workers (outsource workers must not be treated less favourably)

How do you prepare for the new employment rights bill, Audit your contacts and update your policies. Ask the questions, do you have genuinely self-employed people or disguised?, the challenge comes when that relationship sours.

A new race and disability bill is close. Equal pay for disabled and ethnic minorities. There will be an annual obligation to publish pay gaps.

Things to watch out for 26th? Oct. Worker Protection act. Worker predictable terms and conditions (Act 2023). Employment rights bill.
