Credit checks, criminal records checks, dismissal records checks – no wonder employers complain that they ‘cannot find any suitable people’ so they have to hire someone from abroad. How are the government ever going to get the sick back to work as they claim? If there is a bad recession and many get into financial difficulty then they will never work again; a whole generation could be condemned to poverty for the rest of their lives.
Somehow, I don’t think that the government ever though through what would happen to those that failed all these tests when they did the cost-benefit analysis of the project.
