The "Good Jobs" Employment Rights Bill (Northern Ireland): On 1 July 2024, the Northern Ireland Government launched a consultation on The 'Good Jobs' Employment Rights Bill. The consultation contains proposals aimed at "strengthening employment legislation" which may progress under an Employment Bill and supporting secondary legislation. The consultation seeks views on whether the threshold for initiating the rights conferred by the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 should be reduced from 10% to 2%.

The consultation closed on 30 September 2024.
