Employment law stifling UK firms, says BCC
The complexity of UK employment law is stifling the competitiveness of firms, according to a report by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC).
The report, entitled 'Employment Regulation: up to the job?' claims that basic employment regulations have been extended and are "now weighted too far in favour of the employee". These extensions include the right for employees to request time to train and extensions to time off, such as paternity leave.
