    What is complicated? You give two bullet points and a potential solution that all fall under the umbrella of “paying someone.” This solves the problem.

      It’s a simple solution to what’s a more nuanced problem.

      Be honest. If faced with the choice to cut hours/roles, move roles overseas, or to “pay more”, do you think many business owners will do the latter?

      You need to consider the nuance here, otherwise you find a similar situation to the minimum wage rises, where businesses complain about the operations not being viable because they need to start treating workers like humans.

        Yes, I agree. We definitely need to consider the “nuance” of a situation where business is asked to treat their workers like human beings.

          You can be as obtuse as you want. You know I’m right, and it’s exactly why legislation is needed to ensure these things are done correctly to stop businesses from exploiting the rules.
