‘key facts’ page which should be provided to work seekers at the time they register with the relevant organisation. This page would be presented at the start of either registration or engagement with an employment business or any job offer conversationw. This consultation also looks at the use of umbrella companies and intermediaries. Being an employee of an umbrella company can be beneficial to a work seeker as they can move between employment businesses and retain continuity of employment (and payment). However, this is dependent on those employment businesses using, or being willing to use, the same umbrella company to make payments to the relevant work seekers. The government is suggesting a change in legislation which would require umbrella companies and intermediaries to meet a set of minimum standards in line with the minimum requirements currently in place for employment businesses. This would ensure that work seekers have sufficient information to understand who is paying them, what deductions are being made and for what reason, allowing work seekers

to make a better-informed decision on whether to accept a contract. l Enforcing employment rights – Perhaps the key issue underpinning all the recommendations from the Taylor review is that for the system to work, there not only has to be clarity but justice too. Employers who break the rules must expect there to be consequences for their actions, and individuals who feel they have been wronged should feel that the system will allow their case to be heard and that a fair decision reached. And of course, the system must punish employers who are noncompliant so that compliant firms are not put at a competitive disadvantage. In this consultation the government accepts that action is needed in this area and seeks views on how to implement the recommendations it is committed to taking forward. Those recommendations include ...system must punish employers who are noncompliant...

state enforcement of the basic set of core pay rights that apply to all workers: NMW, sick pay and holiday pay for the lowest paid workers. The consultation explores how best to ensure the most vulnerable receive the level of protection they deserve, bearing in mind feasibility and cost- effectiveness for the taxpayer. Other recommendations and actions The government also admits, however, that there are some recommendations that will not be taken forward at this time. Perhaps that’s understandable; after all, the above four consultations cover a lot of ground. As payroll professionals it’s important that we provide the government with as much information as we can, and the CIPP’s Policy team has published four surveys to gather members’ views, and we urge you all to take part. But we also have a responsibility to continue to press the government to address those recommendations it has chosen not to take forward and we need to ensure that those recommendations are looked at again and not forgotten with the progression of time. n
