Consultation on Modern Workplaces

Open date: 16 May 2011

Closing date: 08 Aug 2011

The Government is consulting on changes to employment law to encourage a more fair and flexible approach at work. The consultation seeks views on a new system of flexible parental leave which will allow mothers and fathers to share leave, and give parents and employers greater choice about how leave is taken; on how to extend the right to flexible working to all employees; on changes to the Working Time Regulations as a result of European cases about the interaction of annual leave and sick leave; and on tackling unequal pay through requiring employers who lose an Employment Tribunal case on equal pay to carry out a pay audit.

The Government is currently finalising the policy decisions in light of the consultation responses and ongoing discussions across Government. We will announce the policy proposals in the Government response in the Spring of 2012.
