Brexit/ The UK government promises to maintain employees’ rights as well as European Works Councils (EWCs) that are currently operating even in a no-deal scenario. On 23 August 2018 amid widespread speculation over the likelihood that the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019 with a negotiated Brexit deal, the UK government published a document entitled ‘Workplace rights if there’s no Brexit deal‘. In it the government promises to maintain workers’ rights even if the Brexit negotiations fail. In a no-deal situation then some legislation changes will occur and these will only be in order to maintain identical workplace rights, explained Dominic Raab, Brexit secretary, who also held that ‘we already go much further than the EU’. So what does the document have to say will be the impact on the UK workplace post a no-deal Brexit? Those working in Europe for UK companies may no longer be eligible for guaranteed salary compensation if their employer becomes insolvent.
