Prospect responds to government impact assessment of the Employment Rights Act

The government has published its impact assessment of the Employment Rights Act, Prospect General Secretary Mike Clancy said:

“This impact assessment is clear that the Employment Rights Act is good for workers, good for growth, and good for wider society.

“The sensible compromises agreed between government, businesses, and trade unions were intended to make this legislation more workable for all parties, while still delivering robust protections for workers, and this report clearly demonstrates the success of that approach.

“It is vital now that the remaining details are agreed according to the agreed timeline, so that workers can start to feel the benefits of this Act as soon as possible.”
