This from Brand Republic, 22nd April 2009…
The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform has shortlisted Chick Smith Trott, Delaney Lund Knox Warren & Partners and VCCP to pitch for an employment rights campaign.
COI will hold the pitch on Thursday (23 April) for the campaign, which will run over the next two years.
The national campaign will aim to raise awareness among workers of their specific rights enforced by the Government, and help with getting workers their entitlements.
Since 1997, the Government has set in place a framework of employment rights, including the right to a minimum wage, the right to 24 days paid leave (increasing to 28 days this month), and the right to not work more than a 48-hour average working week.
Last year, the Government published a final report outlining how it would ensure that all workers benefited from these workplace rights. The Government’s Vulnerable Worker Enforcement Forum, which was established in June 2007, looked at the nature and scale of the abuse of workers’ rights. Its findings were published last August.
