Have your say on Labour’s plans to ‘make work pay’

Yorkshire Evening Post

Businesses and workers across Leeds and the wider UK are being asked to share their views on new employment reforms - including bereavement leave and stronger protections for pregnant women and new mothers - to help to shape how these important changes work in practice.

- Carl Quilliam, senior public affairs manager at the CIPD

The reforms are part of the Government's Make Work Pay plan which aims to modernise and strengthen employment rights, extending fair and family-friendly policies to more workers across all occupations and sectors.

Among the consultations now open for feedback are:

• Enhanced dismissal protections for pregnant women and new mothers - Research shows that as many as 54,000 mothers each year are dismissed, made redundant, or treated so unfairly that they feel forced to leave their jobs.
