New workplace legislation for 2009 - first details
...to succesfully claim and be awarded benefits, despite what the Mail and Express say! The key issue for me is the right for staff to request time to train. However, I would like to see the details of this before restoring my faith in the current administration! I also welcome the introduction of legislation for agency workers, but again would need to see the full details of the proposals, because the very nature of agency work means short bouts of employment. If the legislation allows for full rights only after a period of say 6 months, then quite often it could mean one, maybe two changes in employme...

New workplace legislation for 2009 - first details
I like the sound of the medical assessments for potential benefit claimers, as in my opinion the benefit scenerio is impacting on the economy and recent increases etc. Also i think it's a good idea to invest in adult training again, as many adults are keen to train and learn new skills, but famiily and time constraints prevent it from happening. Overall, i like the sound of these changes and feel that the improvements are needed.

...lth and Safety (Offences) Act the details Health and Safety (Offences) Act the details After a relatively speedy passage, the Offences Act received Royal Assent last month and Explanatory Notes to the Act were published last week.
