Add safeguards to §111A (Enterprise & Regulatory Reform Act 2013) for employees.
The current laws regarding 'Settlement Agreements' or 'Without Prejudice Conversations' or 'Protected Conversations' or 'Off the record Conversations' are shockingly lacking in safeguards for the employee.
They can be sprung upon an employee as a way of getting rid of them without red tape.
They are being used currently by employers as a way to place 'no other options decisions' on the employee and there is not enough safeguarding process to resolve relationship issues through other steps first. Much like you can't go to tribunal without a certificate from ACAS, employers should not be allowed to have these types of conversation without all possible other avenues exhausted first.
I'm not suggesting that the option shouldn't be there, it should just be limited to the final ones.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
