New
measures to help firms understand and implement employment regulations are to
be introduced, Employment Relations Minister Alan Johnson announced today. The
moves include:
–
Consulting on how harmonising start dates for domestic regulations could best
work in practice
–
Piloting free or subsidised employment law advice visits to employers of less
than 50 employees
–
Running a number of pilot schemes giving a shared HR resource to small firms
The
Better Regulation Task Force report on employment regulation was published on
15 May this year. The DTI has co-ordinated the response on behalf of the
Government.
