UK Employment Law Reform

With the new Employment Bill expected to be announced next month, this event will provide timely and valuable insights into the key changes that may impact businesses of all sizes. Our team of employment law experts will break down the latest updates and guide you through how these legislative changes may affect your HR policies and workforce management.

• Unfair dismissal/day one rights: removal of the qualifying period for unfair dismissal rights, potentially making it a day-one right.
• Zero hours contracts: a potential move towards banning exploitative contracts and introducing measures like reasonable notice for shift changes and compensation for cancelled shifts.
• Employment Status: a plan to simplify employment status into a single status was discussed, aiming to remove the distinction between employees and workers.
• Collective Bargaining and Unions: plans to repeal legislation that made it difficult for unions to operate, aiming to improve the process for union recognition and enhance collective bargaining rights.
• Flexible working: tightening of the grounds on which employers can refuse flexible working requests.

Join us to stay ahead of these changes and gain practical advice on how to prepare your business for what’s coming.
