Internship News

The government could introduce further employment laws later on this year, it has been reported.

Employment relations minister Pat McFadden told HR professionals he wanted to encourage more effective engagement between employers and workers.

He was speaking at a conference of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) in Westminster, Personnel Today reports.

Students looking forward to enjoying a year in industry by working placement-year internships beginning in September could be interested to hear the government may introduce further legislation protecting employees.

Mr McFadden told his audience: "The right-to-request model has been successful and now we want to keep to those twin aims of proper rights for people at work and the necessary flexibility to encourage businesses to invest in the UK, take risks and hire people."

The website's report added that business leaders insist enough is enough and business secretary John Hutton announced earlier in the year the government had completed its mission to update employment law.

According to the CIPD, it represents 130,000 individual members as the professional body for those involved in the management and development of people.
