The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) is advising policymakers to amend labour laws to better fit the modern, flexible labour market. These changes aim to simplify compliance for employers and clarify workers' rights, encouraging more people to participate flexibly and boosting economic growth. Recent research by the World Employment Confederation (WEC) highlights this need. Their survey of 680 Forbes 2000 companies found that 83% value work flexibility as much as pay and benefits. Additionally, eight in ten UK companies plan to increase their use of agency workers, underscoring the importance of protecting flexible workers. However, legislative barriers are deterring workers from choosing flexible contracts. The WEC survey found that 83% of global businesses want simplified rules. The REC's 'Labour Laws Fit for the Future' recommendations focus on several key areas: Updating the Workers (Predictable Terms and Conditions) Act 2023 to better address agency workers' needs. Revising the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure agency workers' safety. Clarifying rules around Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and TUPE Regulations for agency workers. Regulating organisations like umbrella companies to protect workers they engage. These updates will help the UK labour market evolve, ensuring flexible work is well-regulated and beneficial for all. What are your thoughts on modernising labour laws for a flexible workforce? Let's discuss. #LabourLaws #FlexibleWork #Recruitment #HR #Employment #WorkplaceSafety #StatutorySickPay #AgencyWorkers #EconomicGrowth #FutureOfWork

As many of us may know, the Department of Labor has revamped the employee vs. independent contractor determination under the FLSA. The new rule emphasizes a comprehensive analysis, considering six key factors. Employers will now evaluate control, profit or loss, skill, permanence, investment, and integration into the business. Love this quote from Emily M. Dickens, SHRM chief of staff and head of public affairs: “This pivotal ruling underscores the importance of clear and consistent regulations, fostering diverse business relationships essential for the demands of the modern economy. HR plays a vital role in ensuring proper worker classification. However, the ongoing shifts in regulatory guidance impose compliance burdens and legal uncertainties on HR professionals and business executives.” 👏 Couldn't have said it better myself! 👏 The final rule will become effective 60 days after it is published on March 11 in the Federal Register. I know I'll be on the lookout for more details and HR-provided training to assist HR teams in navigating these changes! #EmploymentLaw #HRUpdates #WorkforceManagement
