INTRODUCTION
Minimum wage, flexible working provision, disability provisions and holiday entitlement are procedures which are taken into consideration with legislation to rights and responsibility. I am going to evaluate these two and state what NHS did in relation to these right and responsibilities laws.
MINIMUM WAGE
The minimum wage requires employers to pay their employees a minimum amount of money which is based on the current version of the law, which is raised every year to adjust the living costs. There are some advantages and disadvantages to the minimum wage requirement.
Advantages:
Helps to close the income gap between poor and rich (wide income gap threatens democratic values and freedoms.
Helps to prevent abuse by employers – employees working long hours will be rewarded
Adults who depend on their pay checks to pay the bills can keep their jobs and not compete with people who are less experienced or teenager workers who would be willing to work the same job for less money.
Forces wealthy companies to share more money they make with people who had helped them get them. It helps reduce the practice of advertising all the money for the executives and pay salaries to employees.
Disadvantages
Inflation
Prevent some businesses from turning a profit because of such tight budget
Illegal immigrant employees can be found and often work for less than minimum wage
NHS did acquire minimum wage for their staff but did made a pay freeze for them because of the budget that they had to cut down in order to make some more of the profit. In my opinion they made those changes to quick and patients were affected by it because nurses had more pressure at work and did not care or they did not make it to give patient the best care possible.
