Crynodeb
Employment Rights is a top priority for the new Government who have set out an ambitious, wide ranging and long-term reform plan for workers’ rights in The Plan to Make Work Pay.
The work is fast paced and high profile but, most importantly, has a significant tangible real-world impact on the lives of working people.
To accommodate this new priority the Directorate has expanded significantly but retains a working culture that we are exceptionally proud of. We pride ourselves on the high quality and significant quantity of work that we deliver but we are clear that it is our working culture that enables us to deliver that. The Directorate is inclusive, friendly, collaborative, supportive and embraces genuinely flexible working.
The National Minimum Wage & Wage Policy team in the Employment Rights Directorate has recently expanded to take on an exciting new remit to address a number of cross-cutting issues in wage policy. The team will design and implement a range of projects that will address existing and emerging issues to ensure workers are fairly compensated for their work. The work may include, but is not limited to, any of the following:
- Reviewing the interaction of national minimum wage, worker status and active working time
- Reforming the apprentice rate of the national minimum wage
- Delivering the national minimum wage uprating process
- Relationship management and sponsorship of the Low Pay Commission
- Reviewing and reforming payslip requirements to ensure fair wages
- Scoping opportunities to reduce the gender pay gap
The Employment Status team is recruiting to support work on the government's commitment to simplify and improve the employment status framework. Employment status is a fundamental pillar of employment law and this role will involve a high level of complex policy development and analysis, looking at how the current framework works for both workers and employers and considering options for reform. The work may include, but is not limited to, any of the following:
- Supporting analytical research into how worker status is utilised in the labour market;
- Supporting the development of options to improve the employment status framework, and preparing consultation documents;
- Engaging cross-government and externally to identify opportunities to tackle bogus self-employment;
- Leading on the drafting of correspondence, responses to parliamentary questions, and briefing requests where these relate to directly employed workers;
- Engaging with legal colleagues to stay abreast of developments in case law relating to employment status.
