BHA members encouraged to attend DTI Paid Holidays consultation
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is undergoing a consultation exercise on proposals to increase minimum paid holiday entitlements.
As part of this consultation process the DTI has arranged a series of meetings to give people an opportunity to discuss the proposals and to further help them to gather useful views on this important issue.
These events will therefore provide an excellent opportunity for you to make your views know, particularly regarding the costs to your business.
The more members who attend, the clearer the message to government about the cost and impact of the new law which will begin to be implemented in October 2007.
There are three events scheduled for England, and one for Wales:
SWANSEA
Thursday 7 September – Liberty Stadium, 2-5 pm. To reserve a place at this event please call Gwyn Roberts on +44 (0)20 7270 0580 or email: [email protected]
EXETER:
Tuesday 12 September – The Thistle Hotel, Queen Street 2-5pm
MANCHESTER: Thursday 14 September – Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Peter Street, 2-5pm
LONDON:
Tuesday 19 September – Mary Sumner House, Tufton Street, Westminster, 1-4pm
As spaces are limited, they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis with a maximum of two places per organisation/business.
If you are representing an organisation or business, it would be helpful if you could advise the DTI as to the sector you represent and the size category of your business (Micro (up to nine staff), Small (up to 50 staff), Medium (up to 250 staff) or Large (over 250 staff). Please also advise them of any special requirements.
To reserve a place at any of the regional consultation events for England, please email: [email protected] specifying the event you wish to attend and including your full contact details. You receive further details by email nearer the time of the meeting.
