LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Govt proposes unfair dismissal reform  New government proposals will make it harder for people seeking unfair dismissal compensation claim advice. Setting out a comprehensive package of employment law reforms, business secretary Vince Cable said the plans would encourage firms to take on more staff. The government will seek views on a proposal, set forth by Adam Beecroft earlier this year and supported by business groups, to introduce compensated no fault dismissal for firms with fewer than ten employees. It will also look at ways to "slim down" existing dismissal processes, with the possible greater involvement of mediation services provided by Acas. Unite general secretary Len McCluskey branded the measures as "a charter for rogue employers and bullies". Mr Cable said: "Our proposals are not - emphatically not – an attempt to give businesses an easy ride at the expense of their staff." Welcoming the plans, the British Chamber of Commerce called on ministers to implement them "without delay". Posted by Georgina Price
