CBI WELCOMES EXTENSION OF UNFAIR DISMISSAL QUALIFYING PERIOD

The CBI today (Saturday) commented on the Government’s announcement that it will extend the qualifying period for unfair dismissal claims from one year to two years.

John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said:

“Extending the qualifying period for unfair dismissal is a very positive step.

“We have been urging the Government to do everything it can to make it easier for firms to grow and create jobs, and this will give employers, especially smaller ones, more confidence to hire.”
