Employment Law Review
The Employment Law Review – 2010 to 2015
The Coalition Agreement set out an important commitment to review employment and workplace laws to ensure they maximise flexibility for employers and employees while protecting fairness and providing the competitive environment required for enterprise to thrive.
The review is being led by the Department for Business (BIS) and all its employment laws are in scope. Other Government Departments’ policies that impact on businesses by virtue of their being an employer are also in scope.
The review will last the lifetime of this Parliament.
The Employment Law Review aims to:
- Improve growth through increased labour market flexibility
- Reduce burdens on business
- Give employers the confidence to take more people on.
On this page, you will find links to further information about the Review and progress since it began in May 2010. We will update this page from time to time as the Review moves forward.
