🔔A survey from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) highlights the impact that the upcoming Employment Rights Bill will have on small businesses across the country. 👨💼Over two-thirds of small businesses state that they plan to recruit fewer staff, with firms stating that this will have a particularly significant impact on their likeliness to hire those who have been long-term out of work or who lack a strong employment history. 🎙️This is exactly what our Advisory Council Member Michael Lorimer told MPs last year when he stated: "My concern is that for some of the riskier hires that might come from the areas around where our business is based - in other words, people not in education, employment or training, kids who have not worked before, or people who have been unemployed for a long time - businesses will be very slow to take a risk because of the day one legislation that is coming down the track."
