The Employment Rights Bill goes back to the Commons - again. Lords are again pushing for amendments, including day 1 unfair dismissal rights & guaranteed hours. Will this delay the roadmap? #HR #Charities #SocEnt #ERB

Did you know that the timeframe for ACAS Early Conciliation of Employment Tribunal claims is increasing from 6 to 12 weeks from next month? This could mean employers are unaware of claims for some months #HR #charities #SocEnt

#EmploymentRightsBill ping pong continues, with the Commons rejecting Lords amendments yesterday - inc on zero hour and day 1 rights for unfair dismissal... #HR #charities #Socent #ERB
