We ponder... will the new legislation around temporary employees and those on maternity leave really start to affect SME's soon.... heavy stuff...
Reckon so - this legislation which comes into force over the next few years and according to the Federation of Small Businesses 98.5 % of the 885 who were polled said they would be less likely to recruit temporary workers as a result of the extended rights theyare to be granted by new Brussels legislation. In a nutshell it means that there will be equal pay to all temp staff after three months, the right to request flexible working for parents will children up to 16 years of age and finally when women go on maternity leave they will also be entitled to non-pay related contractual benefits such as childcare vouchers.
What do we think in the TT office... well, the world has to develop more flexible ways of working and lets face it, that is what Tailored Time is all about!
