Two-year wait for several new workplace rights

The UK government unveils a two-year plan for implementing new workplace rights, including protections from unfair dismissal, whistleblowing safeguards, paternity leave, and more. The Employment Rights Bill outlines a phased approach, with measures like banning exploitative zero hours contracts and enhancing flexible working set for implementation by 2027. Despite support from the TUC, small businesses voice concerns over potential disruptions and complexities in hiring and employment practices due to the proposed changes.
