Rise in part time working
One particularly interesting statistic comes out of today’s latest unemployment figures, particularly of note for employers in relation to employment law.
Overall, as many readers may have noted, unemployment has dipped but the figures present a mixed picture. It seems that many seeking employment have decided that a part time job is better than no job at all. Employers taking on part time staff need to be aware that for the most part, part time workers have the same employment law rights as full time staff.
