The "Good Jobs" Employment Rights Bill Consultation.
The last number of years has been a fallow period in terms of new employment legislation in Northern Ireland, which has seen a growing divergence between employment law here and in Great Britain. Against this backdrop, the Department for the Economy published its "Good Jobs" Employment Rights Bill consultation in July this year, which has a particular focus on four main areas - Terms of Employment, Pay and Benefits, Voice and Recognition and Work-Life Balance. The consultation seeks to gather opinion and evidence o help enhance the future employment law framework in Northern Ireland and ensure it is fit for purpose. We are joined today by Ciara Fulton, Partner and Head of law firm Lewis Silkin in Northern Ireland where she works in their Employment, Immigration and Reward devision, and Patricia Coulter, Employment Relations Manager and Knowledge guru at the Labour Relations Agency, to look at the contents of the consultation. The consultation is available at https://www.economy-ni.gov.uk/consultations/good-jobs-employment-rights-bill
