Excessive legislation is generally disliked by business because compliance can be costly, but it can help to create a level playing field and motivate employees if it means better pay and conditions. Examples of legislation which may affect business include:
Consumer protection - Sale of Goods Act, Trade Descriptions Act
Employee protection - National Minimum Wage, redundancy, maternity, paternity and sick pay laws
Environmental protection - Environmental Protection Act
Competition policy enacted by the Competition and Markets Authority
Health and safety - Health and Safety at Work Act
