Source: Labour Party UK Labour has today announced plans to give all workers security at work by creating a single status of âworkerâ for all but the genuinely self-employed, with rights from day one of employment. A single status of âworkerâ would replace the three existing employment categories and remove qualifying periods for basic rights and protections to give workers day one rights in the job. As part of Labourâs plan to end insecure employment, all workers would receive rights and protections including Statutory Sick Pay, National Minimum Wage entitlement, holiday pay, paid parental leave, and protection against unfair dismissal.
