Day-one rights: remove qualifying periods for basic rights like unfair dismissal, sick pay, and parental leave so they become day-one rights.

Single status of ‘worker’: remove current distinction between employees and workers so that all workers are afforded same basic rights and protections, eg, sick pay, holiday pay, parental leave, protection against unfair dismissal, etc.

Flexible working: make flexible working the default from day one for all workers except where it is not reasonably feasible.

Self-employment: be given a right to a written contract.
