The Employment Bill aims to reform dispute resolution regulations that critics say are over-complex and draconian.
With both employers and unions calling for a review of disciplinary and grievance procedures introduced to help resolve workplace disputes, the government commissioned Michael Gibbons to conduct a review.
Gibbons found that the rules, intended to encourage early resolutions to disputes, had had the opposite effect.
This Bill will scrap the statutory procedures in favour of a non-regulatory system designed to encourage quick and informal resolutions.
The government says the cut in the administrative burden on businesses could amount to as much as £180m a year.
The Bill also amends trade union membership law in light of the European Court of Human Rights judgement in the case of Aslef v UK.
Train drivers' union Aslef pursued a case against the government, saying it had been prevented from expelling one of its members due to his membership of the BNP.
The ECHR overruled a 1992 UK act which prohibited the expulsion of a union member because of membership of a political party.
