So if you are a small/medium business owner under Labour you would see:
Your staff wage costs rise by between nearly £4 and £2 an hr across the board. Yes across the board, as if your 30yr old foreman gets say £11hr he/she isn't going to be happy when the 16yr old with no experience suddenly gets paid nearly as much. He/she will want and rightly expect to get paid significantly more.
A tax or the abolition of dividends.
Your corporation tax go up to between 2% and 7%. Assuming they can work out what the difference is between turnover and profit? As they didn't seem to know last week!
Your ability to hire staff on flexible contracts that suit your work requirements abolished. Full time or part time only guys.
A 32hr week in a few years, so another potential reduction in productivity of circa 20%.
You will have to pay staff for another 4 new bank holidays.
Have to cover maternity leave for an extra 3 months and cover extra paternity leave, which will increase from 2 to 4 weeks.
But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom if you run a small business. Labour is going to put a know nothing small business adviser in your local post office and reduce your bills by circa £50 a month with free broadband!
No one in their right mind who runs or even works for a small or medium business would vote for this shower.
The policies above would result in mass unemployment and a big rise in inflation.
Vote Labour and you will get economic ruin for the many not the few!
God forbid any employer should look after their workforce. And if you’re gonna moan about extra maternity leave then there really is no saving you.
I’m on maternity leave right now and in total I’m taking a whole year, my company are very supportive . I’m breast feeding btw. In America women are forced back to work within weeks because they don’t get maternity. If I was rushed back to work I think my mental health would be ruined and shoving my child in a nursery at 3/4 weeks old where I’d either have to buy formula or be forced with zero option to pump all my milk if my employer was ok with disappearing every 2/3 hours for 30/40 minutes .
your whole post just reaffirms my choice to vote labour
