Small businesses in the UK are expressing concerns over the government's proposed Employment Rights Bill, claiming it could result in reduced hiring and job losses. The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) warns that the Bill's provisions—like expanded unfair dismissal grounds—could create legal uncertainties that would further burden smaller enterprises. While the government promotes it as a significant upgrade in worker rights, many small business owners believe it could trigger a negative impact on hiring practices and financial stability amid challenging economic conditions. The FSB advocates for reverting to a one-year qualifying period for unfair dismissal.
Small businesses warn that the proposed Employment Rights Bill could lead to job losses and a decrease in hiring, jeopardizing the fragile UK economy.
