At a time of high unemployment, the British government should do all it can to encourage businesses to create jobs. And yet, the labour market remains over-regulated. Excessive employment protection places a particularly heavy burden on small businesses, which would like to employ workers but are afraid of the consequences if things go wrong.
在失业率高企之际,英国政府应当竭尽所能鼓励企业创造工作岗位。但目前英国劳动力市场仍处于过度监管状态。过度的就业保护给小型企业带来了尤为沉重的负担,小型企业虽然有意雇佣员工,但又害怕一旦经济形势恶化无法及时裁员可能导致不良后果。
George Osborne, chancellor of the exchequer, has announced a new type of contract that should address some of these fears. Companies will be allowed to give new hires between £2,000 and £50,000 of shares that would be exempt from capital gains tax when sold. In return, the workers would renounce several rights, including the ability to claim unfair dismissal after two years in a job.
英国财政大臣乔治·奥斯本(George Osborne)近期公开介绍了一种新型劳动合同,希望能在一定程度上缓解企业的这种担忧。这种合同将允许公司给予新雇佣员工价值2000至5万英镑的公司股票,当员工出售股票时可以免交资本利得税。作为回报,员工将放弃数项权益,其中包括在职不短于两年者起诉企业不正当解雇的权利。
