A BBPA spokesperson said: “While there are some welcome announcements, there remain legitimate concerns around many aspects of the Bill. Mandating that those who may want flexible roles have to be offered fixed hours, including agency staff, will mean businesses affected by seasonal demand won’t always be able to offer them work. This will cut off opportunities for many who may want short-term work and deny them the chance to work as they please in a sector they’re interested in.
“The beer and pub sector supports more than a million jobs, and we’ll continue to work with Government to ensure that new rules don’t inadvertently penalise our fantastic workforce and risk undermining growth.”
