Employment Leave Bill
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 omnibus bill replaces the Holidays Act 2003 and seeks to establish a new framework for leave entitlement that is simple and clear, and provides certainty to employees and employers about their entitlements and obligations.MP in charge
