Details

This Statutory Instrument will:

  • reduce time-consuming reporting requirements under the Working Time Regulations
  • simplify annual leave and holiday pay calculations
  • streamline the regulations that apply when a business transfers to a new owner.

These proposals do not seek to remove rights, but instead remove unnecessary bureaucracy preventing those rights from working, allowing business to benefit from the additional freedoms we now have.
