Growth and Infrastructure Bill — Employee Shareholder Status — 16 Apr 2013 at 13:33

John Baron MP, Basildon and Billericay voted to permit employers not to extend certain otherwise statutory rights to employees with a new employee shareholder status.

The majority of MPs voted to permit employers not to extend certain otherwise statutory rights to employees given at least £2,000 worth of shares and gaining employee shareholder status.

MPs were considering the Growth and Infrastructure Bill[1]. The motion passed in this vote was:

  • That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 25

Lords amendment 25[2][3] stated:

  • Leave out Clause 27

Clause 27[4] introduced the employee shareholder scheme and a new employment status of employee shareholder.

The employee shareholder scheme is an employee status where an employee is given shares worth at least £2,000 on receipt in return for which the employer is permitted not to extend unfair dismissal rights, rights to statutory redundancy pay and other employment rights to the employee.
