New helpline to tackle bad employment practice
August 22, 2008
The government has announced that a new helpline is to be introduced through which employers and employees can report illegal and bad practice by companies. This is part of new measures to protect workers’ rights and identify employers who mistreat their employers. Another part of the measures will be an awareness raising campaign.
This is a good idea in my opinion. It’s good to see the government introducing new ideas to protect workers that don’t involve more complicated legislation that sometimes has perfectly fair employers feeling as though they are jumping through hoops, and doesn’t necessarily protect employers since it can be quite difficult to make a claim to a tribunal.
