A group of Anthony Collins Solicitors (ACS) experts from across our various client sectors have gazed into their crystal ball and given us a view on how 2021 is looking.
When will the changes be introduced?
We have contacted the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) who confirmed that from today, they would start to work on the legislation to implement the proposed changes.
BEIS said, “We will work closely with businesses to help them prepare for these measures coming into force. All measures, aside from increasing the aggravated breach penalty, are due to come into force in April 2020, to allow employers sufficient time to adapt. The aggravated breach penalty increase will come into force in April 2019.”
What are the key proposed changes?
Here is what is in the Government’s stocking of promises and proposals:
Package one – Changes to one-sided flexibility
Package two – Quality of work
Package three – Clarity for workers
Package four – Clarity of information
Package five – Fairer enforcement
Do keep an eye out for future briefings as and when we receive draft legislation and proposed time frame.
