Redundancy Talks Period To Be Cut From 90 To 45 Days
What's your opinion - is this a good or bad thing ?
//Employment Relations Minister Jo Swinson said the move was aimed at helping workers and businesses.//
//But Alexander Ehmann, of the Institute of Directors, said: "Companies facing problems have to be able to restructure swiftly, and a 45-day consultation period brings the UK closer to a number of EU competitors.
"We would have preferred a move to a 30-day consultation period - the same as for smaller-scale redundancies - which would have made the law less complex," he added.//
//Labour said the changes would not boost economic growth and the TUC said: "Making it easier to sack people is the last thing we need." //
//"These measures will not create a single extra job. The idea that an employer will change their mind about taking someone on because the statutory redundancy consultation period has been reduced from 90 to 45 days is close to absurd." //
//Unison's assistant general secretary, Bronwyn McKenna, said: "Any worker facing redundancy needs time to plan, to mitigate the impact on them and their family finances. Making arrangements to cover mortgages or rent, sort out bills, retrain and apply for new jobs all takes time and this cut will leave families facing financial hardship."//
