"The creation of the FWA marks a step change in the Government's attitude towards employment rights and shows they will take a proactive approach to enforcing them," H-J Dobbie, Head of HR Consultancy at Azets, said. "Many of the areas the FWA will enforce when it launches in April - Statutory Sick Pay, statutory holiday entitlement, and agency worker protections for example - are areas employers should already be complying with, but if they don't, the consequences of not doing so will become more serious from the spring of next year."

There's naturally a certain amount of friction in terms of labor law compatibility between European states inside and outside of the European Union (EU). But even within the umbrella of the EU, countries have their own labor, tax, and social security rules that can turn simple payroll procedures into a nightmare. That's because EU labor law is issued via directives that allow member states discretion in how they implement rulings.
