Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Clinton-Davis (Labour). It was answered by Baroness Wilcox (Conservative) on Thursday, 24 November 2011.
Employment Law: Unfair Dismissal
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have regarding the future of the law on unfair dismissal.
- Answer
-
My Lords, recruiting a new employee is an important decision for any employer so we need to balance very carefully flexibility for the employer and security for the employee. The Government therefore intend to increase the qualification period for unfair dismissal from one to two years to help give firms the confidence to take people on. We will also be seeking more evidence, particularly on whether further steps in this area would help boost the confidence of micro-businesses to employ people.
