 Smaller companies offering positions such as sales recruitment office jobs should be made temporarily exempt from several of the scheduled alterations to the UK's employment law system.That is the opinion of a spokeswoman for the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), who believes that, as they stand, changes such as the extension of paternity leave and the removal of the default retirement age (DRA) will cause such firms problems. Since coming to office in May 2010, the Conservative-Liberal Democrat alliance has regularly insisted that one of its primary objectives is to reduce the amount of rules and regulations faced by the country's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The government perceives these organisations as a vital component in the nation's financial recovery following the global economic downturn, meaning it wants to permit SMEs greater freedom in which to grow and expand. However, according to the FSB official, this goal will be undermined should the coalition fail to amend its practice on the implementation of legislative changes. She explained that "for small businesses, red tape is one of the most burdensome and complex issues" and noted the DRA abolition and paternity absence updates will serve only to increase this problem. The expert went on to express the fact that the FSB is "disappointed" in the government for its decision to "remove some large regulatory changes" from the moratorium it has set in place on all new domestic regulations for the next three years. She stated this will impose yet more red tape on small businesses - something they do not need as they seek to grow in the aftermath of the recession. Earlier this month (June 9th), the coalition announced it is to focus next on removing legislative rules from the diversity and equality sections of the country's employment law set up.
