In this bonus episode, recorded just hours after the government published the Employment Rights Bill, I give my immediate reaction to the Bill and discuss:

1. Unfair Dismissal as a ‘Right from Day One’ policy
2. Ending Fire and Rehire
3. Ending ‘exploitative’ zero hours contracts:
4. Protection from Third Party Sexual Harassment
5. Flexible working
6. Paternity, Parental and Bereavement Leave
7. Enhanced protection for pregnancy and new mothers
8. Statutory Sick Pay
9. Gender Pay Gap / Menopause:
10. Collective Redundancy Consultation
11. Written Statement of Particulars of Employment
