What are your views? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15844614 Yep,the ConDems are considering doing away with the 90 day consultation period which is required when companies with more that 160 employees are going to make redundancies. No mention of curbing executive pay though which has risen by 45% in a year. Seems some are more in it together than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosser Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The way things are, shouldn't any government be makeing it easier to hire people than to fire them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The way things are, shouldn't any government be makeing it easier to hire people than to fire them? Companies are less keen to take on new staff in an upswing, if it's going to be difficult to get rid of them again in a downturn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Companies are less keen to take on new staff in an upswing, if it's going to be difficult to get rid of them again in a downturn. So how are companies supposed to grow in an upswing if they don't take on new staff? Let's not take on new staff as we may have trouble getting rid of them in 10 years or whenever.

HeadingNorth Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So how are companies supposed to grow in an upswing if they don't take on new staff? That's exactly the point. Making it difficult to get rid of staff in a downturn, means economic growth is stifled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Employers should be able to get rid of lame, lazy, unproductive staff without comeback. Employees need to be protected from harassment, personal disagreements and vendettas, personality clashes with bosses etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what's wrong with the system as it is. Even if took to tribunal, if a sacking was done for a genuine reason, they'll have no case to answer. I suppose it's the ease of which that employees can go to tribunal nowadays, and the expense to employers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no evidence for this at all. Getting rid of the consultation period will have no impact on companies hiring new staff. It only makes it easier to get rid of them.
