For those less affected by the Budget’s bombardment of business rates, National Insurance and minimum wage hikes, the Employment Rights Act, which the Conservatives monikered the ‘unemployment rights act’ due to the pernicious impact it will have on hiring in the UK, is due to come into force this month. It will legislate for the removal of minimum service levels for industrial action, but for every business, there is a reason to baulk at the Act. For coastal and seasonal companies, it is the ‘right to guaranteed hours’ that will be damaging; for the SME with a handful of employees, it may be day-one rights to paternity and parental leave, allowing an employee to give notice of leave from their first day of employment.UnemploymentNonetheless, this Labour government remains perplexed that in December 2025, payrolled employees decreased on the year by 184,000 and on the month by -43,000.In industries where vacancies tentatively remain, such as housing, regulation continues to hamper growth.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2609355600","isCrawlerRequest":true}
