High performance workplaces consultation

Summary:

High Performance Workplaces - The Role of Employee Involvement in a Modern Economy: A Discussion Paper Most employment rights have been conferred on employees, as opposed to self-employed people. However, there are some working people who are not considered to be self-employed but do not fit into the legal definition of ‘employee’. Office holders (for example some clergy), agency workers and some casual workers may fall into this category. Article 24 of the Employment Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 would enable the Department for Employment and Learning to extend many statutory employment rights to those who are currently excluded from them. Before deciding whether and how to use this power, the Department is seeking your views on the potential effects of, and justification for, extending the current framework of statutory employment rights and whether there may be alternative approaches.
