Employment law in the government's new draft legislative programme

The main interest for employers in the programme will be an Employment Simplification Bill , which will ’clarify and build a stronger enforcement regime for key aspects of employment law’ .

The main elements of the Bill are:

• implementation of the Gibbons review of workplace dispute resolution (including repeal of the statutory dispute resolution procedures and implementation of a package of replacement measures);
  
• clarification and strengthening of the enforcement framework for the national minimum wage; and
  
• various minor amendments to existing legislation.

EEF will supply more details when the new session of parliament begins.
