The government has announced new amendments to the Employment Rights Bill following a series of consultations (Employment Rights Bill to boost productivity for British workers and grow the economy on GOV.UK).
Interim Acas Chief Executive, Dan Ellis, said:
"Acas is committed to making working life better for everyone in Britain and we welcome the government's focus on improving workplace relations.
"The government has made some new amendments to the Employment Rights Bill that impacts agency workers, statutory sick pay rules and employers that want to make 20 or more employees redundant.
"The Bill is currently going through parliament and is subject to further debate and revisions. We will continue to work with the government and partners to support businesses and workers to prepare for the new law changes."
