Labour’s employment rights bill: what key changes will it bring?

Improvements to workers’ rights to include day-one universal sick pay and an end to zero-hours contracts and fire and rehire

I'm glad the zero-hours policy isn't an outright ban. If an employee prefers being on that, they should not be banned from doing so.
- I found this really useful when I went to university. I was able to keep a job that I could go back to around Xmas to earn a bit of money so I didn't need to work during term time
- This and the stuff around the 'single status' for workers is genuinely quite difficult. For instance, the Writers' Guild has concerns about how royalties would work under such a status. That's exactly why the government's doing the right thing in having an extensive consultation period.
