Consultation Responses: Employment

DEL Consultation: The Agency Workers Directive 2010 March 2011

DEL Consultation: Additional Paternity Leave and Pay February 2010

We welcome DEL’s proposal to introduce paid paternity benefits that can be accessed by the partners of mothers who have chosen to go back to work before their own maternity leave expires.

Employment Tribunal Claims & the Public Interest Disclosure Act July 2009 November 2009

We support ‘whistleblowing’ legislation, which enables employees to make public interest disclosures about malpractices in the workplace without putting their job at risk. We also support the proposal to enable the Tribunal to send ‘whistleblowing’ cases to external regulators to speed up investigation. However, we argue that claimants must give informed consent before this can happen.

Flexible Working and Time to Train October 2009

The Law Centre is in favour of extending the right to request flexible working to all employees. However, we argue that the right is relatively weak and should be strengthened if it is to bring about positive change to work practices.
