Employment Rights Bill cleared to become law
The Employment Rights Bill has passed through the House of Lords, and is expected to gain royal assent this week, and then become law in England, Scotland and Wales – although not Northern Ireland.
It will be gradually introduced into law over the next two years, with measures including ending zero-hours contracts to provide workers with stable hours and predictable income. UKHospitality had previously urged the government to “protect the right for employees to access zero-hours contracts when they want them, instead of an outright ban”.
