2011 Budget

The publication entitled The Plan for Growth: March 2011 – states that the Government will:

TUPE Transfers: Encourage public sector organisations to disclose their TUPE related liabilities at an early stage in the tendering process [para. 2.121].

As a general rule - the transferor should disclosure “employee liability information” to the transferee - at least 14 days before the transfer [reg. 11(6) of the TUPER 2006].

Discrimination: Abolish third-party harassment laws and not introduce dual discrimination laws [page 7].

[When the Labour Government implemented third-party sexual harassment laws on 6 April 2008 – it acknowledged that there is no express provision about such harassment in the Equal Treatment Directive.]
 
National Minimum Wage (NMW): Invite the Low Pay Commission (LPC) to implement a better way of informing employers about changes to the NMW. For example, the LPC may suggest rises to the NMW for two years [page 111].

Bribery Act 2010: Publish guidance about the Bribery Act 2010 for the professional and business services sector [page 109].
