DOWN TO BUSINESS – KEEPING UP THE GOOD WORK BOSS Today #46

to this, there will need to be a valid
business reason for them not to do so.
Break In Service And Casual Workers
Currently, one week is enough to be
considered a break in continuous
service. To ensure that employees who
work intermittently gain employment
rights, there will be a change to this
break period from one week to four
weeks, helping those employees who
work on a sporadic or casual basis
to qualify for more employment
rights, such as the right not to be
unfairly dismissed or the right to
statutory maternity pay, which require
a particular length of service.

Finally, remember also that BOSS
are here to help and support you,
and all of our policies, guidance,
letters and forms will be updated
to include these changes.
