Brexit should not be allowed to delay labour reforms outlined in the Taylor Review, writes Diane Nicol, an employment partner at Pinsent Masons, in City AM. The UK has the lowest levels of productivity in the EU and the Taylor Review made 53 recommendations, including clarity on worker status and technology to help the self-employed. The select committee took on board many of our recommendations, and went even further to suggest that, where there is a significant atypical workforce, all the individuals be deemed workers “by default”. A new report by a leading employers’ organisation says that Britain is facing “unprecedented challenges” as it prepares for Brexit.
