APA has applauded the business secretary's attempt to
'reduce the burden of the employment system and create a more flexible labour
market.
In announcing his measures APA feels Vince Cable has given
companies more flexibility and confidence in managing their workforce and helped
to reduce employment law red tape, including support for settlement agreements aimed
to end employment relationships in a 'fair and consensual' way.
APA says, 'Ending a employment relationship is always a last
resort, but is at times necessary to protect all involved. Better to create an
environment where all parties reach an agreement and part equitably than to soldier
with one party or both being unhappy. Companies need to be confident that they
can offer an employee a settlement to end the relationship without fear of
future action.
APA supports moves by the government to make the process of
offering a settlement easier to navigate.”
