Make Work Pay: duty to inform workers of right to join a union

Imported from official source

The Employment Rights Bill will introduce a new duty on employers to give a written statement to their workers, informing them of their right to join a trade union at the start of their employment and at other times.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is seeking views on how this new duty can be implemented effectively while minimising the burden on employers. This includes details on:

  • the manner in which the statement must be delivered
  • the frequency with which the statement must be reissued after the beginning of employment
  • This is an extract. The publication continues at the source.
