The Department for Business and Trade is proposing to remove obligations to keep working time records and allow rolled-up holiday pay, amongst other updates to the law.

The government proposes plans to:
  • Remove the requirement for employers to keep working time records; Allow employers to roll-up holiday pay; Allow employers to merge both basic
    and additional leave entitlements (regulations 13/13A of the Working
    Time Regulations 1998 (WTR)); Remove the present requirement to
    elect employee representatives under TUPE (for businesses with under 50
    people and transfers affecting below 10 employees; and Restrict the application of non-compete clauses in employment contracts to three months.
    • When will this proposal become law? We’re not sure, however, we will
    publish details on our blog as the proposal progresses. But needless to
    say, this could be a major change for employers to prepare for and
    consider carefully.
