The Queen’s Speech 2007 - Changes in Employment Law

by Liam

The Queen made her annual speech yesterday, marking the opening of the new Parliamentary Session.

The Speech gives us some hints as to legislative changes that may be made in the near future and that may have implications in the workplace.

The key areas for change include:

• A reform of the law regarding apprenticeships
• Bringing forward proposals to help staff achieve work/life balance
• Imposing a duty on employers to contribute to a good quality workplace pension for employees

The speech does not give any more detail than the above.Watch this Blog for further updates! You can receive updates from this Blog via RSS feed by clicking on the RSS feed button below.
