National living wage and changes to terms and conditions
This Library Debate Pack provides background to the forthcoming debate on the introduction of the National Living Wage and changes to employee contracts.
On Monday 18 April 2016 Members will debate the introduction of the National Living Wage and changes to employee contracts, following a successful Backbench Business Committee bid from Siobhain McDonagh MP, Labour MP for Mitcham and Morden.
Members will debate the following motion:
That this House agrees with the Chancellor of the Exchequer that Britain deserves a pay rise and commends his introduction of the national living wage; notes, however, that some employers are cutting overall remuneration packages to offset the cost of its introduction, leaving thousands of low-paid employees significantly worse off; and calls, therefore, on the Government to guarantee that no worker will be worse off as a result of the introduction of the national living wage.
