The Equality Bill
The Equality Bill was published in April 2009 and is expected to be implemented as an Act in October 2010."The Equality Bill published on 27 April 2009 will, when implemented, help to provide clarity and consistency to what has become an unnecessarily complicated area of law. Whilst the Bill does contain some new proposals, for the most part it harmonises and clarifies existing legislation and the key concepts are expressed in a more user friendly way. In these difficult economic times businesses are naturally wary of the introduction of more new employment laws, but an inclusive organisation that treats individuals on merit rather than stereotypical assumptions is one that will be in a strong position when the recovery starts and in the meantime the use of flexible working practices can help eliminate or minimise the need for redundancies."
