The UK Government’s plan to Make Work Pay changes multiple aspects of employment law; the right to claim unfair dismissal from day one of employment and the removal of qualification periods for Statutory Sick Pay are just two examples.
A commitment to deliver most of these proposals are laid out in the Employment Rights Bill. The bill has been amended through consultations and is currently progressing through the parliamentary system.
We are in the process of updating this page to reflect the amendments arising from a series of consultations.
In addition to the Employment Rights Bill, the Make Work Pay plan involves other non-regulatory consultations, amendments to codes and guidance.
The CIPD will work on behalf of the people profession to share the voice of the industry on these matters.

Please note, the majority of the Employment Rights Bill won’t apply in Northern Ireland, where employment legislation is almost entirely a devolved (transferred) matter. The NI Executive has publishedseparate proposals on employment law reform.
