Government Bill
Published date: 16 Aug 2024

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill amends the Employment Relations Act 2000 to enable businesses that have 20 or more employees to include a 90-day trial period in a new employee’s employment agreement.
