Employees across various sectors could face a delay of up to two years before benefiting from several newly proposed employment rights, according to recent reports. The anticipated reforms, aimed at improving workplace conditions and protections, are expected to undergo a lengthy implementation process. Government officials cite the need for thorough consultations and legislative adjustments as primary reasons for the delay. Key changes include enhanced sick pay, flexible working arrangements, and stronger protections against unfair dismissal. While labor unions express frustration over the timeline, business groups argue the phased approach allows companies to adapt without disruption. The government has pledged to prioritize the reforms but emphasizes balancing urgency with practical execution.
