Government slammed over Taylor Review response

Today’s response from Government to last year’s Taylor Review into modern employment practises has been slammed by a leading legal expert – with a trade union claiming the changes don’t go far enough.

The Taylor Review was commissioned by Theresa May’s cabinet last year, undertaken by a former aide to ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair to look at the accusations of improper practise in the gig economy.

The changes come in response to the review, with the current government claiming that it will go further than the Review’s recommendations by enforcing holiday and sick pay entitlements, giving all workers the right to demand a payslip as well as allowing flexible workers to demand more stable contracts.

However, Beverley Sunderland, Managing Director of Crossland Employment Solicitors, has questioned the Government’s changes.
