Apprenticeship Levy
Government policy fails almost one million temporary workers - we want to reform the Levy
We're calling on the government to:
Ensure that good work and flexibility go hand-in-hand
- Protect two-way flexibility that benefits both workers and businesses
- Unlock progression for almost a million people by broadening the Apprenticeship Levy to work for flexible staff
Harness brilliant recruitment to drive productivity and inclusive growth
- Put people at the heart of the Industrial Strategy
- Create a ‘Good Recruitment Taskforce’ to support better hiring by businesses
Create the environment for business to thrive
- Only implement IR35 when the policy can be effectively delivered
- Improve the enforcement of regulations with co-ordination between government bodies
- Introduce a two-year temporary work route so that immigration policy works for business, workers and the economy
- Use public procurement to drive standards
Take the lead on the future of jobs
- Ensure that regulations keep pace with technological change to protect workers
- Tap into the expertise of recruitment professionals to pre-empt disruption and facilitate career transitions
