In a press release that is unlikely to exude
much sympathy with the general public, business leaders and owners have
bemoaned the increasingly onerous nature of employees rights in the UK.
With stringent health & safety laws and new
pieces of legislation such as the Age Discrimination Act, there is an
enormous pressure placed on employers to spend more time and money on
compliance. May businesses are flouting the discrimination laws because they
believe that they are unlikely to be exposed and in order to comply fully,
their business may suffer.
In a direct quote from the research:
"Entrepreneur think tank The
Tenon Forum reveals that 70 per cent of UK entrepreneurs feel that the
balance of power has been shifted too far in favour of the employee. The
legislation has added to a raft of government initiatives including
paternity rights and sexual orientation"
Nevertheless here at Claimrights we are fully
supportive of any legislation that protects workers and empowers them to
fulfil their lives. A workplace should be safe the playing field level. The
benefits gained by employers in embracing these legislative changes are far
outweighed by any negatives. If you find yourself suffering an
injury in an accident at work - you may be entitled to claim compensation. Speak to us
today about a possible claim.
