Dan Pollard writes for Personnel Today on day-one rights

min read

The government’s plan for day-one rights is likely to lead to a significant uptick in dismissals over the coming months as employers seek to exit staff to head off the change 

In an op-ed for Personnel Today, Dan Pollard, Employment Partner, sheds light on Labour's pledge to guarantee 'day one rights for all workers" which would eliminate the current requirement for employees to have two years’ service to be protected from unfair dismissal. 

In the piece he addresses, amongst other points:

  • The big unanswered question of whether all employees will immediately enjoy day-one rights or if they will only apply to those hired after the Employment Rights Bill becomes law?
