 A new report released today (June 1st) suggests that employers are still not entirely sure over the benefits of Labour's landmark employment legislation that began to be introduced upon the party's election to government in 1997.According HR Magazine, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and KPMG, companies feel most hindered by the much-maligned Working Time Regulations Act - which was introduced in 1999 - and the Agency Workers Regulations, which are scheduled to come into law in October next year. Many businesses believe the Working Time Regulations, which cap a standard working week in the UK to 48 hours, have had a minimal impact on limiting unhealthy workplace behaviour and should now be scrapped. In their pre-election manifesto, the Conservatives pledged to review the proposed Agency Workers Regulations, which would make temporary workers no less favoured than if they had been employed following a standard three-month probationary period. The report supports this proposal as it states that just 13 per cent of employers consider this to be an effective method of handling recruitment and employment. Posted by Daniel Frost
